High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Steph Curry (at DEN – $9,900): Needs 46 fantasy points. Curry was up to 74.5 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Jan. 13. I have very little doubt about his game right now. He’s as reliable as they come and with the way he shoots the ball, he has a very high ceiling. It’s a tough matchup on Tuesday, but Curry lives for these tough matchups. He’ll get it done in a big way in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a very high ceiling.

Kris Dunn (at LAL – $6,900): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. Aside from a rough outing against the Warriors, Dunn has been over 34 fantasy points in four of his last five games. And now he gets the poor Lakers. I don’t like a lot about the Bulls, but I’m going to trust him in this matchup because I don’t like a lot about the Lakers either. And Dunn has been fairly reliable. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Justise Winslow (at MIL – $6,500): Needs 29.9 fantasy points. Winslow has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. And if Josh Richardson is out, that means even better things for his value on Tuesday. Even if Winslow plays, his game is reliable enough to where he should at least get you value. He does a bit of everything and has shown a high ceiling throughout this season and during this stretch. As a note, you can always spend on Westbrook, but there is blowout potential there. Still, Westbrook is guaranteed numbers.Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
