High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs NO ($11,800): Harden is listed as probable with a sprained ankle, although according to Drake, a sprained ankle “aint nothin’ to play with.” Meanwhile, Chris Paul is listed as doubtful. Assuming Harden plays, he should be in for a big night. The Pelicans are 26th against the position in their last 15 games and Harden dropped 61.2 fantasy points on them a week ago. On top of all that, the Pelicans have to be fatigued after playing so many games this week and the Rockets are the last team you want to face if you’re mentally and psychically tired. 60-plus fantasy points should be no problem for The Beard. *****

Tyreke Evans, MEM vs LAL ($7,800): Evans finished with 30.4 fantasy points against the Hornets on Thursday, playing only 19 minutes in the lopsided loss. Assuming the Grizzlies aren’t doubled up on the scoreboard, Evans should see his usual 30-plus minutes on Saturday. He had 44.8 fantasy points against the Lakers on Jan. 15 and should be over 40 fantasy points on Saturday. ****

Andrew Wiggins, MIN at PHI ($6,800): Wiggins had 35.2 fantasy points against the Knicks on Friday. His score was actually down, but he made up the value with 11 rebounds. You can’t count on that every night from him, but you can count on him at least hitting value. He’s been a consistent play since Jimmy Butler went down. He had 39.4 fantasy points against the Sixers on Dec. 12. Until he drops off or Butler returns from injury, keep adding Wiggins and taking guaranteed points. ****
