High Salary SG
Bradley Beal, WAS vs CHA ($7,900): Beal has missed value in six straight contests. He’s been nine-plus fantasy points under value in his last three games. His salary is up due to the limited option on Saturday to where he needs 37 fantasy points to reach value. He did had 53 fantasy points against the Hornets on Feb. 23. Still, his poor performances over the last couple of weeks make him a risk on Saturday. I like him better if John Wall ends up playing as that will open things up for him a bit more. **
D’Angelo Russell, BKN at MIA ($6,800): Russell posted 45.75 fantasy points against the Magic on Wednesday. He’s been over 45 fantasy points in two of his last three games, but his one miss was a big one as he had just 16 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Sunday. The Heat are a tough matchup and rank 12th against point guards in their last 15 games. But Russell is the lead option in Brooklyn and the most likely guy to get you 40-plus fantasy points. ***
Klay Thompson, GS at SAC ($6,600): Thompson is listed as probable to play on Saturday, which makes me believe that he’ll suit up for the first time since Mar. 11. There’s no telling how the dumb injury will affect his shooting, but given the matchup, it shouldn’t be a big deal. The Warriors could continue to rely on Quinn Cook a bit to ease the pressure off of Thompson, which may hurt his value a bit. But the matchup is good and he should get you around 30 fantasy points. ***
