High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Damian Lillard (at DAL – $9,800): Needs 45.3 fantasy points. Lillard took advantage of a poor Spurs defense and finished with 61 fantasy points. The Blazers got got blown out but we’re not worried but final scores in DFS. Just our own scores. The Mavericks are better than most predicted, but they still have their defensive issues. Lillard has been inconsistent this season, but the ceiling is high. Diagnosis: Good matchup and high ceiling. Blazers have crashed a bit, but Lillard remains a strong option.

De’Aaron Fox (at PHO – $7,500): Needs 34.6 fantasy points. Fox has been over 36 fantasy points in his last two games. And now he gets the Suns. As a rule of thumb, always take advantage of the Suns. They are the only team in the West who is bad and they remain really bad. And with Booker hurt again, their offense continues to sputter. Fox has been solid this season and has a high ceiling. Diagnosis: High ceiling player against the Suns. Love Fox on Tuesday./i>

Darren Collison (vs CHI – $6,300): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. Collison was up to 45.5 fantasy points against the Kings on Dec. 1. The Bulls are typically a good matchup, and it a big reason why Collison’s salary has jumped so high, but games after a coach gets fired are always weird. That said, Collison is playing well and continues to get more opportunities with Oladipo out of the lineup. Diagnosis: Reliable even at the higher salary. Matchup is strong.
