High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Steph Curry (vs PHI – $8,900): Needs 41.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.5 fantasy points against Indiana. This is a big game for the Warriors which means everyone is going to play well, but not too well, and all their stars will put up numbers. That’s just the story for these regular season games. Curry has been reliable, even in limited minutes all season. And he’ll get plenty of points in this one against a relatively weak Sixers defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs LAL – $7,200): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.75 fantasy points against Atlanta. Lou is hot right now and he gets the Lakers. A Lakers squad that plays no defense and will likely be without LeBron James once again. Williams lives for these games and he’ll carve up the Lakers defense with his scoring and playmaking. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Rajon Rondo (at LAC – $7,000): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Rondo has evened out a bit and his salary has climbed, which typically isn’t good news. But the assists are always going to be there for him and maybe he picks up his scoring against a not so great and struggling Clippers defense. He’s always a double-double threat as well. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
