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

High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Jrue Holiday (at LAL – $9,400): Needs 39.5 fantasy points. Holiday was up to 58 fantasy points against the Bucks on Dec. 19. A lot depends on the status of Davis. If he plays and Randle and Mirotic are still out, Holiday is a great option. But if he’s the lone scoring option, it’s probably going to be a struggle for him. He’ll get the opportunities and the ceiling will be high, I just don’t know if he can pull out a big game with almost literally no help. Diagnosis: Take him with confidence if Davis plays.

Jeremy Lamb (vs DET – $7,000): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. Lamb bounced back from his 18 fantasy point outing with 39.9 fantasy points against the Cavaliers. His salary has jumped way up, but I like the matchup for him. Even though he hasn’t turned in great games against the Pistons this season, I have a gut feeling about him. I think he has a well-rounded game for big numbers. Diagnosis: A gut feeling pick from me.

Tim Hardaway Jr (vs ATL – $7,000): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. Hardaway Jr has 41.1 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Sixers on Dec. 19. The scoring is typically there and if he’s chipping in with assists, that’s even better for his value. This is his matchup. He’s been over 49 fantasy points in both games against the Hawks this season. Diagnosis: Love everything about Hardaway Jr on Friday.
