High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

James Harden (vs MEM – $13,300): Needs 56.9 fantasy points. Harden had 74.8 fantasy points against the Magic on Sunday. And that was with a rough shooting night from three. It’s a back-to-back for the Rockets, but I have no concerns when it comes to Harden because he hasn’t given me any reason to have a concern. He’s been dominant and until he has a rough stretch, keep taking him with all the confidence in the world. Diagnosis: You can always build around Harden with confidence.

Donovan Mitchell (vs DET – $8,800): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. Mitchell has been over 49 fantasy points in his last three games and four of the last five games. I continue to love his game with Rubio out of the lineup and he’s been delivering. I have very little doubt about Mitchell’s game right now, especially against a weak Pistons team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (at LAC – $8,500): Needs 36.4 fantasy points. Holiday is basically the Mike Conley of shooting guards, just with a higher ceiling. You typically know what you’re getting from him and his ceiling is much higher. The matchup is very good and Holiday burned them for 71.8 fantasy points on Dec. 3. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
