High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Luka Doncic (vs MIL – $10,000): Needs 43.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. Luka is the captain now and he’ll continue down this path of domination. The matchup is tough because the Bucks are the Bucks. But their defense can slip a bit when they start blowing out teams. And they should be blowing out the Mavericks. I’m not doubting Luka the rest of the season based on what’s around him and how much he does on the floor. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Bradley Beal (vs CLE – $9,400): Needs 41 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Beal will continue to deliver for the Wizards because he’s a competitor and the Wizards still have an outside shot at making the playoffs. And it’s the Cavaliers. The minutes should be there because the Wizards probably aren’t blowing too many teams out. And he’ll get his usual strong numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (vs MIN – $9,400): Needs 41 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.7 fantasy points against Chicago. It’s a chalk night at shooting guard but don’t let my picks deter you from spending less at this position. Russell, I’m a tad worried about with LeVert back in the lineup, Jimmy Butler is Jimmy Butler and Klay is always a bit hit and miss. Then there’s Holiday, who is an extremely reliable option and a guy who should have no problem getting his usual numbers in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
