High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Buddy Hield (at MIL – $8,200): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. Hield is the best player in the league and he’s been lighting up teams. He’s been over 43 fantasy points in his last three games. The matchups have been relatively good and the Bucks do offer a bit more defense. But I’m not going against these Kings. They are playing with a lot of confidence and getting buckets from everywhere. Diagnosis: Does a bit of everything and has high scoring potential. In a game that should feature buckets, he’ll get his.

Khris Middleton (vs SAC – $7,600): Needs 31.6 fantasy points. Middleton has been off in the last few games, but he remains at a good salary and we know what he’s capable of. At some point, the lid will come off the basket for him. And when it does, look out. The good news is he’s making up value with rebounds, assists, and defense. Diagnosis: Remains a good second option with a high ceiling on a good salary. He’ll heat up at some point.

Tim Hardaway Jr. (at WAS – $7,500): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. It’s a scoring guard against the worst defensive team in the league. Yeah, I’ll take my chances. Until the Wizards can proven they can stop anyone, I’m going to pound the matchup. Hardaway Jr. gets points and does a little bit in other categories to boost his value. I expect him to score in bunches on Sunday. Diagnosis: Love his ability, love the salary, love the matchup.
