High Salary SG

Khris Middleton, MIL at DEN ($8,100): You have to go back to Mar. 5 to find the last time Middleton missed value. He’s been one of the most consistent performers over the last month and there is no reason to think he’ll falter against a defensively weak team like the Nuggets. That said, he was down to 30.25 fantasy points against Denver back on Feb. 15. He needs 36.3 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. Expect him to bounce back from February’s performance and be over 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Josh Jackson, PHO at GS ($7,400): Much like Middleton, Jackson continues to deliver in fantasy terms. He hasn’t missed value since Mar. 8. With Devin Booker, T.J. Warren, and Alfred Payton out of the lineup, Jackson has been the primary scorer on Phoenix. He had a monster 54.5 fantasy point performance against the Warriors on Mar. 17 and needs 33.1 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. Expect another strong performance out of Jackson on Sunday given how good he’s been since the deadline. ****

Taurean Prince, ATL vs ORL ($7,200): Prince missed value against the Sixers on Thursday, posting 24.75 fantasy points in 24 minutes. He didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but that shouldn’t be a problem against the Magic on Sunday. He’s averaging 29.4 fantasy points in three games against the Magic this season, but the circumstances are much different heading into this one. He’s the top option in Atlanta and should bounce back, making his way over 35 fantasy points. ****

ES: James Harden, HOU at SA ($12,000)
