High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Jrue Holiday (vs DEN – $8,900): Needs 41.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.5 fantasy points against Houston. It’s a back-to-back for the Pelicans and the Nuggets are no easy matchup. But they are at home and they showed they are going to play hard despite all the noise, which is a good sign. And Holiday has been a reliable option all season. I’ll continue to trust him in this spot. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kemba Walker (at BOS – $8,200): Needs 37.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.25 fantasy points against New York. Kemba has been down in the last couple of games and that’s a bit concerning. But he’s a big game player and the Celtics are a big game, even if Kyrie doesn’t play. He’s been great against the Celtics this season and he should return to form in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs ATL – $7,700): Needs 35.6 fantasy points LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against LA Clippers. I’m torn between Fox and Young in this one. Young has been playing better but Fox had 72.5 fantasy points against the Hawks on Nov. 1. Both guys should deliver given the pace these two teams play at. I’m leaning towards Fox having the bigger game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
