High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (at OKC – $9,700): Needs 41.1 fantasy points. Beal continues to deliver with Wall out of the lineup. The matchup is tough as the Thunder play good defense, especially at home. And Wall won’t be around to take an pressure off him. But he typically plays well against OKC with without Wall, he will have more chances. He should get you value and the ceiling is much higher due to his role on the team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a very high ceiling.

Victor Oladipo (at TOR – $9,200): Needs 39 fantasy points. Oladipo was up to 60.4 fantasy points against the Bulls. Collison struggling meant Oladipo had to do more. But we always know what he’s capable of. He’s going to need a big game in this one because of the Raptors defense. He didn’t deliver in the December matchup, but the Raptors are on a back-to-back. And he’s rolling right now. Diagnosis: Don’t love the matchup, but love his game and ceiling. A slight risk.

Devin Booker (vs CHA – $9,000): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. Booker has been up-and-down in recent contests. He was down against the Clippers on Jan. 4. So if the trend continues, he should be back up in this game. The good news is that the Hornets are on a back-to-back and simply aren’t very good. Booker is typically reliable with his scoring and passing. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling and great matchup.
