High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Steph Curry (at SAC – $9,400): Needs 39.6 fantasy points. Curry had just 17.1 fantasy points against the Raptors on Dec. 12. There’s no way he’s that bad again. He’s been too good throughout his career to struggle in the same manner and the Warriors will want to make a statement after the embarrassing performance against the Raptors. Expect him to bounce back with a big game. Diagnosis: His shot will fall in this one. It has to. Right?

John Wall (at BKN – $9,400): Needs 39.6 fantasy points. Wall was up to 64.7 fantasy points against the Celtics on Dec. 12. Numbers are rarely an issue for Wall as he gets plenty of points and assists. He had 50.5 fantasy points against the Nets on Dec. 1. This could be an offensive game as both defenses have struggled this year. And with that being the case, Wall will get his numbers. Diagnosis: I like him better than Curry just because he doesn’t have three All-Stars around him.

Kyle Lowry (at POR – $8,000): Needs 33.7 fantasy points. Lowry remembered how to shoot. And he was up to 54 fantasy points against the Warriors on Dec. 12. It was only a matter of time before shots started to fall for him and when he’s scoring, he becomes a high ceiling player. The assists have been there for him all season. The Raptors might be due for a bad game with their schedule, but I won’t believe it until I see it. Diagnosis: Once again reliable with a high ceiling.
