High Salary SG

Jrue Holiday, NO vs OKC ($8,300): Holiday followed up his 50.7 fantasy point performance against the Trail Blazers with 35.2 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Friday. He needs 34.1 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He hasn’t been great against Oklahoma City this season, averaging 30.9 fantasy points in two games. But they are 28th against the position in their last 15 games and their overall perimeter defense isn’t very good. Holiday is the best perimeter option on the Pelicans. This should be a high scoring affair with Holiday doing his part in contributing points and assists. ****

Khris Middleton, MIL at DEN ($7,800): Middleton has been over value in eight straight contests and is coming off a 51.3 fantasy point performance against the Lakers on Friday. He did struggle in the Feb. 15 game against the Nuggets, finishing with 30.4 fantasy points in that contest. He needs 32 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Given his play during this road trip, and really since the All-Star break, look for Middleton to be over 35 fantasy points once again. ****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA at MIN ($7,600): The Timberwolves are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. If they get Jimmy Butler back, it will improve their defense, but there’s no telling how Butler will look coming off the injury or how many minutes he’ll play. Knowing Tom Thibodeau, he’ll play at least 40 minutes. With or without Butler, Mitchell’s play throughout the season has been too good to think he won’t hit value on Sunday. He had 47.8 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Nov. 13 in a game where Butler played. ****

ES: Victor Oladipo, IND at LAC ($9,200)
