High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs SA ($10,700): Harden didn’t play on Sunday against the Mavericks due to a knee injury. The injury is said to be nothing serious and he’s expected to be back on Monday. While his teammates shouldn’t lag behind after an easy outing on Sunday, Harden may have a little extra something with the day of rest. Unless Kawhi Leonard is magically healthy, Harden will have no problem posting his usual 50-plus fantasy points. *****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at MEM ($6,800): Bledsoe has missed value in his last two, which has caused his salary to lower. He needs 30.9 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. That should be no problem given the matchup. The Grizzlies are 24th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. It’s unreasonable to think Bledsoe will be held to seven points like he was against the Knicks. Chalk it up to a rough shooting night and expect him to easily bounce back on Monday. *****

CJ McCollum, POR vs MIA ($6,600): McCollum has been over value in five straight. His salary has actually lowered due to the matchup. He needs 30 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. The Heat rank 16th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. This will likely be a defensive affair, but good players always find a way to get their numbers. McCollum has been great in recent contests and should make his way over 30 fantasy points. ****
