High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan, TOR at BOS ($7,900): DeRozan has missed value in four straight, but was within one fantasy point of value in two of those games. The Celtics are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. He’s averaging 32.1 fantasy points in two games against Boston this season. That number would put him right at value in the third meeting between the two clubs. He should be around value and there’s always a chance he has a big scoring night, but Kyle Lowry has been the king in Toronto this season. ***

Bradley Beal, WAS vs CHA ($7,600): Beal has missed value in four of his last six. He was less than one fantasy point over value in his two hits. He did have 51.2 fantasy points against the Hornets on Feb. 29 and Charlotte is 29th against the position in their last 15 games. But Beal has seemingly ran out of gas and can’t be trusted at this point. If John Wall returns, that could help his value. **

D’Angelo Russell, BKN at MIA ($7,400): If Klay Thompson plays, you might find him as the more attractive option. His matchup is better and he’s on a cheaper salary, but playing time could be a concern as the Warriors will likely take it easy with him. Russell is nearly guaranteed 30-plus minutes and he’s been strong as of late, going over value in five of his last six. He needs 30.1 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. It’s a tough matchup, but Russell is the top option in Brooklyn and should push 30 fantasy points. ***
