High Salary SG
James Harden, HOU vs DET ($11,600): Harden has been over 60 fantasy points in his last three games. He needs 52.6 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. If Chris Paul is out, that’s only going to increase the usage and production of Harden against the Pistons. Even with Paul in the lineup, Harden is always a safe bet to give you at least 50 fantasy points. With Paul out, another 60-plus fantasy point effort should not be a problem. *****
Donovan Mitchell, UTA at DAL ($7,500): Mitchell has been over value in three straight and six of his last seven. He’s missed value just twice in the last couple of weeks and both of those misses were by less than one fantasy point. He’s turned into a reliable option late in the season and there is no reason to think he’ll slow down now. He had 45 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Feb. 24. Expect him to push 40 fantasy points on Thursday. ****
Buddy Hield, SAC vs ATL ($6,600): Hield moved into the starting lineup on Monday and it actually hurt his his value. After going over 40 fantasy points in three straight, Hield was down to 37 fantasy points against the Pistons on Monday. He needs 29 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. The matchup is good as the Hawks are 30th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. Expect another big game out of Hield in this contest. ****
