High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU at LAC ($11,200): Harden had 68.8 fantasy points against the Clippers on Dec. 22. He missed the infamous “Back Tunnel” game and playing alongside Chris Paul almost ensures he won’t push 70 fantasy points again. He should still be in for a big game given the matchup. He’s missed value just once since Jan. 20 and has been over value in 83 percent of games this season. Few players are as reliable as Harden. He’ll be over value again although he may defer a bit to Paul, who will be looking for his revenge on Austin Rivers. ****

Devin Booker, PHO at MEM ($8,700): The best player in the league is a Devin Booker who has nothing to play for. He followed up his 47.3 fantasy point game with 62.5 fantasy points against the Pelicans. The Grizzlies are fifth against the position in their last 15 games, but Booker gets any shot he wants in the Phoenix offense. He’s hot right now and always comes out of fire after the All-Star break. He needs 34.9 fantasy points for value. He should be over 40 fantasy points once again. *****

Lou Williams, LAC vs HOU ($7,700: The Clippers are on a back-to-back, but they should be up for this one given the matchup. Williams in particular has gotten up for both games against the Rockets this season, averaging 51.5 fantasy points in those contests. He needs 31 fantasy points to be over value on Wednesday. This is a matchup that he’s had a lot of success against this season and he’s been great in back-to-back situations this season, missing value just once in nine contests. Expect another big game from the Clippers guards. ****
