High Salary SG

James Harden ($12,500): Harden ended up with up around 59.7 fantasy points in Game 2. Shooting guard is a loaded position on Friday, which may make building around Harden a slight risk, But there’s no stopping him in this offense. Just hoping he misses. ****

Donovan Mitchell ($8,900): Mitchell went from scorer to playmaker in Game 2. It doesn’t matter what his role is right now, he’s getting the job done for the Jazz. He’ll likely remain as more of a playmaker with Ricky Rubio out. You can trust him to deliver all the same. *****

High Value SG

Eric Gordon ($5,000): Gordon deliver in Game 2, posting 30.7 fantasy points. He’s still inconsistent off the bench, but he has been good in three of his last four games. If nothing else, he should be around value. ***

Alec Burks ($4,000): Burks poured in 33.8 fantasy points in Game 2. He’s made the most of his newfound opportunities with Ricky Rubio out. I have my doubts that he can continue at this pace, but if he can do it on the road, his chances of doing it at home are pretty good. ***
