High Salary SG

Victor Oladipo, IND at CHA ($9,500): Oladipo played just 21 minutes against the Raptors on Friday. It was a back-to-back and the Pacers have little to play for in these final games. That’s the concern for Oladipo on Sunday. If he plays 30-plus minutes, he’s going to get you at least 35 fantasy points with a good chance he’s over 40 fantasy points. But if he plays 25 minutes or less, it’s tough to produce those kind of numbers, even against a great matchup. Due to the uncertainty surrounding his minutes, he’s definitely a risk against the Hornets. **

Donovan Mitchell, UTA at LAL ($8,000): Mitchell had 37.2 fantasy points against the Lakers on Tuesday and needs 33.4 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. Utah still has plenty to play for in the Western Conference, which means Mitchell’s minutes will be up as long as this game remains competitive. Even if it’s a blowout, he’ll likely see at least 30 minutes of action. That gives him plenty of time to be over 33.4 fantasy points. ****

Klay Thompson, GSW at PHO ($6,700): Thompson had 33.4 fantasy points against the Suns last week. He needs 28 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. If the Warriors are going to limit the minutes of anyone on Sunday, Thompson is a pretty good bet. Assuming they play him his usual 30-plus minutes, he’ll be over 30 fantasy points against Phoenix. ***
