High Salary PG

Jrue Holiday, NO at SA ($8,000): The Spurs are 14th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. Kawhi Leonard is getting close to returning, but appears to be out in this one. When Anthony Davis plays, Holiday plays well, usually going 10-plus fantasy points over value. He needs 35.9 fantasy points to hit value on Thursday and should be over 40 fantasy points if his recent play is any indication. ****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA vs PHO ($7,400): Get ready to read a lot about Utah Jazz players today. That’s what happens when the hottest team in the league plays the worst defense this season. Mitchell missed value against the Pistons on Tuesday, but only by .4 fantasy points. He needs 33.2 fantasy points to hit value on Thursday. The only concern for Mitchell and the rest of the Jazz are that they don’t get enough minutes to be well over value. Still, all of them should have no problem at least coming close to value. ****

Damian Lillard, POR vs CLE ($9,600): Lillard continues to play over value, going 15-fantasy points over value on Monday against the Heat. He’s missed value just twice since the All-Star break. And now he goes up against a bad Cavaliers defense. The Cavaliers are 13th against the position in their last 15 games. Lillard should feast on Thursday night, likely pushing 50 fantasy points once again. *****
