High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs PHO ($11,300): Harden was able to rest on Tuesday and he might catch plenty of rest on Friday given that the Rockets are playing the Suns. Chris Paul is currently questionable. My guess is they are cautious with him given the matchup and situation, but if he doesn’t play, it means great things for Harden’s value. With or without Paul, Harden is going to get busy for as long as he plays. The only risk with Harden is that he plays less than 30 minutes, preventing him from a monster game. ****

Jrue Holiday, NO at CLE ($8,100): Holiday had 50.7 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. It was a return to form after he had struggled in three of his last four games. The matchup is certainly a favorable one on Friday as the Cavaliers defense remains shaky. Holiday has loved this matchup in the past two seasons, averaging 48.6 fantasy points in his last three games against Cleveland. Look for him to build off the Portland game and be back over value once again. *****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA vs MEM ($7,800): Mitchell missed value against the Celtics on Wednesday, contributing 30 fantasy points in that one. It snapped a streak of six straight games over being over value. Expect a bounce back performance against the Grizzlies because, well, they are the Grizzlies. He needs 31.9 fantasy points to reach value and should make his way towards 35 fantasy points. ****
