High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Jrue Holiday (at CHI – $9,000): Needs 42 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.25 fantasy points against Indiana. You typically know what you’re getting from Holiday. He’s been a reliable option all season and now he gets a great matchup against the Bulls. He’ll easily get his value in this game and I expect him to do more. And the Pelicans aren’t quite good enough to where they can fully run away with this game, meaning Holiday’s minutes should be good. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (vs PHO – $8,700): Needs 40.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Houston. Always stack against the Suns. The Jazz offense isn’t much to write home about but guys will get rebounds and assists while Mitchell gets his points. A blowout is in play because the Suns are the Suns and the Jazz will probably come out strong. But Mitchell will do enough in this game to at least hit value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs HOU – $7,200): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.5 fantasy points against San Antonio. Fox looks to be back in form and I absolutely love this game from a fantasy perspective. Especially guys on the Kings as they have some very reliable and high ceiling guys. And Fox is one of them. The pace will be up and the Rockets defense isn’t great. Fox will be in for a big night on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
