High Salary SG

Jrue Holiday, NO at LAC ($8,900): The Clippers are 30th against the portion in their last 15 games. Holiday has been at 54 fantasy points in his last two games. The Pelicans are still in the thick of things in the West while the Clippers were eliminated from contention over the weekend. Holiday has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games against the Clippers. He should be in for another big night on Monday, getting you at least 40 fantasy points. *****

Khris Middleton, MIL vs ORL ($8,100): Middleton is coming off a 36.2 fantasy point performance against the Knicks on Saturday. If the Bucks lose, they have a better shot at seventh, which is the only concern for taking Milwaukee players on Monday. On paper, this is a great match for the Bucks and their stars should be in for a big night. But that doesn’t take into account mental factors that sometimes you can’t prepare for. If you think the Bucks will play to win, Middleton is a great option. If you think they’ll hold back grab one of the other two players or CJ McCollum. ****

Will Barton, DEN vs POR ($7,400): Barton has been over value in three straight and is coming off a 39.9 fantasy point performance against the Clippers on Saturday. The Nuggets need every win they can get and with Gary Harris out of the lineup, Barton has continued to perform exceptionally. He needs 31.1 fantasy points to reach value and should be over that number in a game of this magnitude. He hasn’t been great against the Trail Blazers this season, which is the only concern. ***
