High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (at BOS – $8,800): Needs 37.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.5 fantasy points against New York. Not a great night for Kemba against the Knicks and he’s been down in his last couple of games which is a bit worrying. But he’s a big time player and he usually doesn’t stay down for long. He’s played well against the Celtics this season, averaging 46 fantasy points and 1.35 FPPM in two games. Expect him to step up in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs ATL – $7,800): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.3 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Fox had a monster 65.5 fantasy point game the last time these two teams met. Can he do it again in this game? He’s been a bit cold coming into this one but the pace should be high and opportunities will be there for him. I expect him to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (at SAC – $7,300): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.8 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Young has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. Maybe he’s settled into a rhythm but rookies are always tough to figure out. As mentioned above, this should be a high pace game where both point guards do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
