High Salary SG
Bradley Beal, WAS vs ATL ($7,900): Beal had 43.75 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Thursday. He’s been hit-and-miss against the Hawks this season, but there’s no denying that it’s a favorable matchup. On top of that, if John Wall is out, Beal will become the top option once again. He needs 37.1 fantasy points to hit value on Friday and should push 40 fantasy points at the very least. ****
Josh Jackson, PHO vs NO ($7,400): Jackson continues to roll, going over value in 11 straight games. He’s coming off a 44 fantasy point performance against the Kings on Tuesday. He had 40 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Feb. 26. He’ll continue to be the top option in Phoenix as injuries to Devin Booker, Elfrid Payton, and T.J. Warren will keep them all out of the lineup once again. There’s no reason to doubt Jackson at this point as he’s displaying his potential late in the season. *****
Josh Richardson, MIA at NY ($6,700): Richardson had 42 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Hawks on Wednesday. He’s averaging 29.6 fantasy points in three games against the Knicks this season. That number would put him right at value on Friday. The Heat could get some rested players back into the lineup and it’s possible that Richardson is rested himself. Check his status before making any decisions. Even if everyone else plays, it’s a good matchup for Richardson, who has been solid in the second half of the season. ****
