High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Jrue Holiday (vs ORL – $9,500): Needs 41.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.9 fantasy points against Memphis. Even though Holiday was down against the Grizzlies, you typically know what you’re getting from him. He’s been a reliable option all season and assuming his minutes are back up in this game, his production will follow suit. Trust him to bounce back against this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (at GS – $8,300): Needs 36 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.5 fantasy points against San Antonio. The Jazz are going to need Mitchell to be outstanding in this game if they want to keep up with the Warriors and I’m going to trust Mitchell to be fantastic in this game in order to keep up with the Warriors. The Warriors defense is still a bit shaky as they don’t have quite the same chemistry in years past. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (vs UTA – $7,400): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.6 fantasy points against Miami. Klay has been shooting the lights out lately and that’s bad news for the rest of the league. He’s getting the best looks of his career and he’s obviously one of the best shooters in NBA history. The Jazz are a good defensive team, but Klay still finds his ways to get open. He’s always a slight risk if shots aren’t falling. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
