High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (vs IND – $9,300): Needs 38.7 fantasy points. Walker has looked unstoppable as of late and is coming off a 54.3 fantasy point performance against the Celtics. The Pacers have been good this season and Walker did look a little gassed at the end of last game, so hopefully, the day of did him well. I’m not doubting Walker at this point. He’s an elite scorer and does enough in other categories to boost his value. Diagnosis: Matchup isn’t the best, but there’s no reason to doubt Walker right now.

Kyrie Irving (vs NY – $9,000): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. Another guy you shouldn’t be doubting is Kyrie Irving. He’s coming off a 53.5 fantasy point performance against the Hornets on Nov. 19. The Celtics are going through some things offensively, but Irving is still getting his points and doing a lot more in the assist department. Plus, it’s the Knicks on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Red hot and great matchup.

De’Aaron Fox (at UTA – $7,500): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. Fox has been under 26 fantasy points in his last two games. That’s the bad news. The good news is that he’s a high ceiling player, his salary has lowered, and he had 42.3 fantasy points against the Jazz on Oct. 17. The Jazz are still struggling and I’m going to trust Fox and the Kings. Famous last words. Diagnosis: Good and proven matchup. Fox has a high ceiling on a relatively low salary.
