High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs SA ($11,200): Harden was able to rest on Sunday as his Rockets easily dispatched of the Mavericks. He’s dealing with a knee injury, although it’s likely he would have played on Sunday if it was a tougher opponent. Given how the Spurs have played in 2018, he could probably take another day off and the Rockets would be fine. He needs 46.4 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. Assuming he plays 33-35 minutes, he’ll give you his usual 50 fantasy points without too much trouble. *****

CJ McCollum, POR vs MIA ($7,300): McCollum has been over value in five straight, including a 38.3 fantasy point effort against the Warriors on Friday. He’s been right there alongside Lillard in pushing the Blazers into the three seed out West. He needs 30.3 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. In a battle of two of the top defenses, Lillard and McCollum are the most reliable options on either side. ****

Khris Middleton, MIL at MEM ($7,000): Middleton has been over value in his last two and is coming off a 35.3 fantasy point effort against the Knicks. He needs 29 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He’s been hit-and-miss in recent weeks, but his last two games and the matchup projects well for his value on Monday. He should have a solid scoring night to go along with a few rebounds and assists, putting himself over 30 fantasy points once again. ****
