High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs SAC ($11,500): Harden had 62.7 fantasy points against the Timberwolves, fending off the defense of Jimmy Butler. Both teams are on a back-to-back and the Rockets are at home, which bodes better for them. There’s also the simple fact that the Rockets are just the much better team. Harden needs 45.7 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. He should be over 50 fantasy points once again, although there is concern that this one is over early and Harden doesn’t see enough minutes. ****

Bradley Beal, WAS at NY ($8,700): Beal missed value against the Bulls, posting 20.4 fantasy points in that contest. His highs have been high and his lows have been low without John Wall. He hasn’t missed value in two straight in a month, so expect him to have a bounce back performance in this one. If the Wizards are down a point guard or two, that means Beal will see even more run as the primary playmaker. The Knicks defense can’t stop anyone right now, much less a player of Beal’s caliber. *****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA at PHO ($8,500): The hottest team in the league against the worst defense in the league? Grab Mitchell and don’t look back. There’s always a chance something weird happens, but all signs points to Mitchell putting on a shot against the Suns. He needs 33.7 fantasy points to reach value. He had 59 fantasy points against the Suns on Feb. 2. Another 50-plus fantasy point game should be expected from Mitchell given this matchup. Anything less than 40 fantasy points would be a major disappointment. *****
