High Salary SG

Jrue Holiday, NO at SA ($8,500): Holiday was held to 35.3 fantasy points against the Spurs on Feb. 28. That number would put him just over value on Thursday. He continues to have success alongside Anthony Davis. Until he falls off or his salary gets too high, there’s no reason not to take him and reap the rewards sowed by Davis. He’ll be over value and if Davis feels like sharing some of his fantasy points, Holiday is the top beneficiary. ****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA vs PHO ($8,200): The only concern for Mitchell is not playing enough minutes. But needing only 33.1 fantasy points to hit value, he should reach that number even in limited minutes. He’s missed value in three of four, but was within two fantasy points of value in all three games. He’s nearly a lock to be over 30 fantasy points and given the opponent, a big game is not out of the question. *****

Nicolas Batum, CHA at ATL ($7,800): Batum is coming off back-to-back 50-plus fantasy point games against the Pelicans and Suns. He’s averaging 38.5 fantasy points in two games against the Hawks this season and needs 31.5 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. He should have another strong outing, putting up solid numbers in all categories. ****
