High Salary SG

D’Angelo Russell, BKN at SAC ($7,500): Russell is back in the starting lineup since the All-Star break and has been over value in two of his three starts. He had 45 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Kings rank 12th against the position in their last 15 games. Russell is looking more like himself and being back in the starting lineup is certainly great news for his value. The matchup is there and he should be over value in this contest. ****

CJ McCollum, POR vs MIN ($7,200): The Timberwolves rank 29th against the position in their last 15 games. McCollum was a bust against the Kings, posting just 15.4 fantasy points in that contest. Prior to that, he had been over value in four straight. Given the matchup, McCollum should be back over value on Thursday. He needs 29.5 fantasy points to reach value. Expect at least 30 fantasy points from the Portland guard. ***

Andrew Wiggins, MIN at POR ($6,900): Wiggins has been over value in both games with Butler out. He stepped up earlier in the season when Butler went down, so the increased role certainly suits him. His value is still mainly tied to his ability to score, but with the extra usage, he has more chances to put the basket through the hoop. He’ll get plenty of shots in this contest and should score at least 20 points. Throw in a couple of rebounds and assists and he’ll be right around value. ***
