High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Steph Curry (vs SA – $9,200): Needs 40.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.8 fantasy points against LA Lakers. I’m not opposed to Kemba here. He’s coming off an outstanding game against the Clippers and the Mavericks are a good matchup. But the Hornets are on a back-to-back and if they are shorthanded, I don’t know if Kemba will have to the juice to carry them like he needs to justify the salary. Steph is coming off a terrible performance but he’s Steph. And he will not shoot this poorly again. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs HOU – $8,000): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.2 fantasy points against San Antonio. I love this game from a DFS perspective. Because I always love Kings games in DFS. And the Rockets play right into their hands with their shot jacking and the Kings pace. I’m expecting a big performance out of Fox in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Eric Bledsoe (vs WAS – $7,500): Needs 32.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.1 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Bledsoe has been over 40 fantasy points in his last three games. He didn’t play the other night against the Wizards but he typically plays great against the Wizards. He had 49.1 fantasy points in 28 minutes against them on Jan. 11. I love Bledsoe in this game and there’s enough value elsewhere to pair Bledsoe and Fox. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
