High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs OKC ($11,000): The Thunder are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Harden has been up-and-down in his last four games. The Rockets have nothing to play for, which could be a reason for slightly lazier performances from Harden. Something tells me he’ll have an extra gear against Russell Westbrook and the Thunder. He needs 45.8 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He should at least it value, unless the Rockets really mail it in. ****

Khris Middleton, MIL at NY ($8,300): Middleton continues to play very well, missing value just once in the last month. He followed up his 49.1 fantasy point game against the Celtics with 44.3 fantasy points against the Nets on Thursday. He had 35.3 fantasy points against the Knicks on Mar. 9. That number would put him right at value on Saturday. Expect him over value as the Bucks try to get the second seed and first round game against the Celtics. ****

Jrue Holiday, NO at GS ($8,200): Holiday had 57.2 fantasy points against the Suns on Friday. Of course, that was the Suns, but it’s still an impressive performance. He continues to play great in the second half of the season and there’s no reason to doubt him against the Warriors. He had 47.2 fantasy points against them on Dec. 4. Expect him around 40 fantasy points once again. ****
