High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

DeMar DeRozan (at MIA – $9,200): Needs 38.3 fantasy points. The Spurs have been off for a couple of days, but I don’t expect that to slow DeRozan down. In fact, his salary has lowered and that’s good news for DFS owners. DeRozan has been fantastic this season, getting it done with his scoring and passing. The Heat are inconsistent in all areas and DeRozan should have no issue putting up numbers. Diagnosis: High ceiling option with a good matchup.

Zach LaVine (at NO – $9,000): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LaVine was back to his high-scoring-self against the Knicks, posting 58.8 fantasy points on Nov. 5. The matchup was a good one, so that wasn’t too big of a surprise. And the Pelicans matchup is another good one as their perimeter defense hasn’t stopped anyone in years (the Blazers in the playoffs not included). Someone has to score for Chicago and he is the best bet. Diagnosis: Great matchup and he looked to find his groove again against the Knicks.

Jrue Holiday (vs CHI – $8,800): Needs 36.7 fantasy points. Holiday has been over 40 fantasy points in five straight games. The Pelicans have struggled defensively, but Holiday has been doing his part on the offensive end. He’ll get his points and assists against a weak Bulls team. Diagnosis: On a hot streak right now and has a good matchup. Offense is not a problem for the Pelicans.
