High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Luka Doncic (at CHA – $9,700): Needs 42 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.2 fantasy points against Cleveland. This is Luka’s team now. Granted, it was always Luka’s team but it’s really his team with the Mavericks trading away literally everyone for an injured player. The Hornets are on a back-to-back and their defense isn’t great in the first place. This should be a big game for Luka. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (at CHI – $9,400): Needs 40.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.7 fantasy points against Indiana. As always, you typically know what you’re getting from Holiday. He’s been a reliable option all season and now he gets a very good matchup against the Bulls. I know Holiday is going to bring it and it’s fairly easy to bring it against Chicago. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (vs PHO – $8,800): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.7 fantasy points against Houston. A quick note on Harden. You can always take Harden. And I love the Kings pace which should mean more scoring opportunities for Harden. But there are other options who are more cost effective. None of them have the ceiling Harden has. But, again, they might be most cost-effective. For example, Mitchell is going to get value and he plays against the Suns. You should always take great players against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
