High Salary SG

Terry Rozier, BOS at ATL ($7,500): Rozier has missed value in his last two and four of his last five. But due to the matchup, his salary is up to where he needs 34.6 fantasy points to hit value. The Hawks are 29th against point guards in their last 15 games. If Jayson Tatum and Al Horford don’t play, that should boost Rozier’s value, but the Celtics have nothing to play for and can likely win with their system. It’s a good matchup, but proceed with caution. ***

Taurean Prince, ATL at BOS ($6,600): Prince posted 39 fantasy points against the Wizards on Friday. He needs 29.1 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Hopefully Friday’s game was a return to form as he’d been struggling in recent contests. He did haVE 51.5 fantasy points against the Celtics on Feb. 2. He should be around value, but proceed with caution. ***

Donovan Mitchell, UTA at LAL ($7,700): Mitchell needed just 28 minutes to collect 33.75 fantasy points against the Clippers on Thursday. He needs 35.5 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Utah has plenty to play for in these final games, which means Mitchell should log 30-plus minutes as long as the game is slightly competitive. And if Ricky Rubio doesn’t play, his value increases. He’s a strong option on Sunday night. ****

Klay Thompson, GSW at PHO ($6,900): Thompson was under value on Saturday, finishing with 26 fantasy points against the Pelicans. He had 33 fantasy points against the Suns a week ago and needs 30.4 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. The Warriors will have no problem putting up points and Thompson should be around value. If Josh Jackson ends up playing, he’s a better option despite the higher salary. ***
