High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

DeMar DeRozan (at SAC – $9,100): Needs 38 fantasy points. DeRozan was down to 26.7 fantasy points against the Rockets on Nov. 10. His shot wasn’t falling, but the rebounds were there. He’s been rebounding well without Gay and I would expect his scoring to pick back up. He’s too good of a scorer to not bounce back, especially against a suspect Kings defense. Diagnosis: High ceiling and been great all season. Chalk up the Rockets game to an off-night.

Luka Doncic (at CHI – $7,700): Needs 32.2 fantasy points. Doncic had 40.2 fantasy points against the Thunder on Nov. 10. He’s been good more often than not this season and has proven to have a relatively high ceiling. Against the Bulls, he’ll have a good chance to reach that ceiling. He should put up numbers in all categories. Diagnosis: Good matchup, reliable, and a high ceiling.

Devin Booker (at OKC – $7,500): Needs 31.3 fantasy points. Aside from an explosion against the Celtics, Booker has been down in the last couple of games. But this is a matchup he typically plays well against. The Thunder defense is inconsistent and still not trustworthy without Roberson. Booker can put up points in a hurry and he’s doing even more this season. Diagnosis: Good salary and a matchup he does well against (1.19 FPPM in his last three games against OKC).
