High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Kemba Walker (at IND – $9,200): Needs 43.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.75 fantasy points against Atlanta. Kemba continues to be hot right now and I would suspect that he keeps this up into the All-Star break. The Pacers have found their footing without Oladipo and it’s not like the Hornets are a great team, but they are a solid offensive team. And Kemba is the leader of the pack. Until I see signs of him slowing down, I’m taking him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

CJ McCollum (at OKC – $7,100): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28 fantasy points against Dallas. This is McCollum’s matchup. It’s a back-to-back for the Blazers but he has historically played very well against the Thunder. And he’s hot coming into this game. He had 42.75 fantasy points against the Thunder on Jan. 22 and has been over 40 fantasy points against them in four of his last five games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Dennis Smith (at CLE – $6,400): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Toronto. DSJ has jumped into the high salary category but he’s still on the low end compared to the rest of the field. This is his team and he’s getting all the opportunities to showcase himself. The matchup is a good one because the Cavaliers are brutal. Expect DSJ to show out once again on Monday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
