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

High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Jrue Holiday (vs DET – $8,600): Needs 39.8 fantasy points. Holiday had 47.75 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Jan. 21. You typically know what you’re getting from Holiday. He does a bit of everything and even with Davis out of the lineup, he’s been delivering. I’d like to see a bit more from him given the circumstances but he’s entering into a good matchup on Wednesday at the Pistons are not good. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (vs DEN – $8,500): Needs 39.3 fantasy points. Mitchell had 53.25 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 21. He’s been excellent with Rubio out of the lineup. Rubio is back but coming off the bench and his minutes are still down. Until Rubio is fully back and Mitchell starts slipping, keep taking him with confidence. They need him in this game given the opponent and I trust him to deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jamal Murray (at UTA – $7,100): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. Murray has turned into a very reliable option over the last couple of weeks. He’s not even logging big minutes on most nights and still delivering. His value is mainly tied to his scoring but points are not an issue and he always chips in with assists and a couple of rebounds. The matchup could be better but you can count on Murray to give you at least value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
