High Salary SG

Khris Middleton, MIL at LAC ($7,900): The Clippers are 27th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. Middleton has put together an excellent run, going over value in nine straight games. He’s coming off a 40.75 fantasy point effort against the Bucks on Sunday and needs 35 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He had 45.5 fantasy points against the Clippers a week ago. Look for him to be over 40 fantasy points once again on Tuesday. *****

CJ McCollum, POR at NO ($7,500): McCollum did what he always does against the Thunder and that’s torch them. He finished with 49 fantasy points against Oklahoma City on Sunday. The matchup projects well for him once again on Tuesday with the Pelicans poor three-point defense. McCollum had 39.5 fantasy points against New Orleans on Jan. 12. Expect him to push 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Eric Gordon, HOU vs CHI ($7,200): James Harden resting means Gordon should remain the starting shooting guard. If it’s determined that Chris Paul is out as well, then Gordon becomes a huge play as he’s the only other person capable of running the Houston offense. He won’t succeed the way Harden and Paul do, but he’ll put up numbers nonetheless. And he’ll put up numbers alongside Chris Paul. He’s a safe bet when he’s starting and should give you at least 35 fantasy points. ****
