High Salary SG

Jrue Holiday, NO vs SA ($8,500): Holiday has been over value in seven straight. He had 58.1 fantasy points against the Spurs on Mar. 15. San Antonio has done about as good a job as you can do on Anthony Davis this season, which has led to guys like Holiday stepping up. The Pelicans will need a big game from the guys around Davis one more time if they want to improve their playoff standing. Holiday is the most likely guy to deliver and he should be over 40 fantasy points on Wednesday. ****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA at POR ($7,800): Mitchell finished with 31.1 fantasy points against the Warriors on Tuesday. He played just 26 minutes as the Jazz put the game away by halftime. Don’t expect Portland to go as easy. Mitchell is averaging 34 fantasy points in three games against the Trail Blazers this season. That number puts him right at value on Wednesday. He may not win Rookie of the Year, but he’s been extremely impressive this season and there is no reason to doubt him heading into the playoffs. He’ll raise his game and put first round opponent on notice. *****

Will Barton, DEN at MIN ($7,000): Gary Harris’ return cuts into Barton’s value a bit, but Harris isn’t playing guaranteed minutes right now. Even if Harris returns to the starting lineup, it’ll push Wilson Chandler to the bench, not Barton. He had 34.2 fantasy points against the Timberwolves a week ago. He needs 29.8 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday and should end up around 35 fantasy points in this one. ****
