High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Luka Doncic (vs LAC – $8,900): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. Luka had 49.2 fantasy points against the Bucks on Monday although he should be docked a couple of points for challenging Giannis at the rim. Make smarter business decisions, Luka. You sort of know what you’re getting from Luka right now. He’s been playing a reliable game and always does a bit of everything. He had 52.3 fantasy points against the Clippers on Dec. 20. I have no doubts about his game right now. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Devin Booker (vs MIN – $7,900): Needs 33.9 fantasy points. Booker was down to 29.2 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Jan. 20. His scoring numbers were down but you never have to worry about shots for Booker and he typically chips in with plenty of assists and a handful of rebounds. Expect a bounce back performance from him with the day off and being back at home. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

CJ McCollum (at OKC – $6,500): Needs 27.9 fantasy points. McCollum has been all over the place this season. He usually plays great against the Thunder but had just 18.9 fantasy points against them on Jan. 4. He doesn’t lack for minutes or opportunities and this matchup is so proven that I’m willing to give him this game to bounce back. He’s only in this spot because your options are limited on Tuesday. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a high ceiling.
