High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Steph Curry (vs UTA – $9,100): Needs 39.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.8 fantasy points against Miami. Steph is typically a reliable option but he hasn’t shown the high ceiling we know he has in recent games. But this feels like a big time Steph game. The Jazz defense is very good as a team but there’s really no individual defense you can play against Steph when he gets going. I just have a good feeling that this will be one of those crazy Steph games where he reminds everyone that he’s the scariest offensive player in the league. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (vs LAL – $7,400): Needs 32.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.5 fantasy points against Orlando. Young has settled into a nice rhythm and now he gets the poor Lakers defense. I’m expecting a big night out of Young in this one. The pace should be up in this game with how both of these teams play. And the Lakers are a bit of a mess right now and no Rajon Rondo shot changes that. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Terry Rozier (at PHI – $7,200): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Rozier will draw the start with Kyrie out and you can always count on Rozier when he starts. The Philly defense is still a bit in shambles as they get new players used to the system. That means Rozier should be able to get his points. Again, with Kyrie out of the lineup, Rozier always steps his game up. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
