NEW ORLEANS, LA – APRIL 19: Jrue Holiday
NEW ORLEANS, LA – APRIL 19: Jrue Holiday /

High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Jrue Holiday (vs BOS – $8,900): Needs 36.5 fantasy points. Holiday had 37.5 fantasy points against the Wizards on Nov. 24. He’s better with Davis in the lineup as it takes some pressure off of him. The Celtics are giving up a lot of points to top perimeter players and Holiday certainly has that capability. I like him better with Davis in the lineup, but he’s reliable enough if Davis doesn’t play. Diagnosis: Take with confidence if Davis plays.

Bradley Beal (vs HOU – $8,200): Needs 33.6 fantasy points. Beal has been over 38 fantasy points in his last three games. I’m going to assume that John Wall plays, but if he doesn’t, Beal has a higher ceiling. He’s also more prone to bottoming out. The Rockets are a good matchup as their defense remains poor. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling. But if Wall doesn’t play, the risk factor is slightly higher.

Klay Thompson (vs ORL – $7,200): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. Thompson has been over 34 fantasy points in his last three games. You know what you’re getting from Thompson for the most part. The shows are always going to be there and they are there even more so with Curry out of the lineup. The Magic are on a back-to-back and a long west coast road trip. Meanwhile, the Warriors may be figuring things out. Diagnosis: The shots will be there. And he’ll deliver.
