High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Victor Oladipo (at PHI – $8,400): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. Oladipo returned to the lineup and had 34.5 fantasy points in 29 minutes against the Bucks. He looked good in his return and they were able to keep his minutes down as it was a blowout. His minutes should be up in this one and I love this matchup because I’m down on the Sixers right now. Not only am I down on the Sixers, but there is no reason to be down on the Pacers. They are rolling. Diagnosis: Reliable with a very high ceiling and a good matchup.

Eric Bledsoe (at CLE – $7,600): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. Bledsoe has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. Giannis missed one game and didn’t look like himself in the other, which helped Bledsoe’s value. What helps his value on Friday is the matchup. The Bucks should roll, which is why I don’t like Giannis, but I do like Bledsoe at this salary. Diagnosis: He’ll deliver, even in limited minutes.

Spencer Dinwiddie (vs WAS – $6,500): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. Dinwiddie had 51 fantasy points against the Sixers on Dec. 12. I’ve been rolling with him a lot since LeVert’s injury and even though he’s been a bit inconsistent, the minutes and chances are always there for him. And now he gets the Wizards defense. The Wizards don’t play defense. Diagnosis: Love his ceiling and the way he’s playing right now.
