High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (at CHA – $9,400): Needs 40.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.1 fantasy points against Toronto. I love Beal’s game overall and he’s been a very reliable option with Wall out of the lineup. The matchup doesn’t really matter for Beal. He’s going to get his numbers unless he just has an off night. And I don’t expect an off night against this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Lou Williams (at MEM – $8,300): Needs 36.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.2 fantasy points against Phoenix. Williams was playing great going into the break and while I’m unsure where the Clippers stand as far as their desire to make the playoffs, I know Williams will want to compete. And the Grizzlies are definitely not making playoff plans. Williams is the Clippers most reliable option when it comes to offense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (at TOR – $7,900): Needs 34.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.7 fantasy points against Memphis. DeRozan was down a bit going into the break but he was fantastic the last time he played his former team. But I’m wary with him coming back to Toronto. Either he wants to once again show the Raptors made a mistake or he’s too overcome with emotion and does what he has a bad habit of doing in big games in Toronto. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
