High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (vs BKN – $10,000): Needs 43.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Washington. Kemba looked more like himself against the Wizards and that’s hopefully a good sign going into this game against the Nets. He’s averaging 49.5 fantasy points in two games against the Nets this season. There should be plenty of points scored in this one and Walker is the best player on either side. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Steph Curry (vs HOU – $9,500): Needs 41.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.7 fantasy points against Sacramento. You typically know what you’re getting from Steph. He plays a reliable game and he can always get hot with his scoring. The Rockets defense is not good and Curry typically embarrasses Paul, except in the playoffs when Steph obviously isn’t 100 percent. I’m expecting a big outing from him in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Trae Young (vs PHO – $8,500): Needs 37 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.4 fantasy points against Detroit. Young continued his hot run with a strong game against the Pistons. And now he gets the Suns. It’s a back-to-back, but it’s the Suns, so does it really count? I love the way Young is playing right now and you can take any player with confidence against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
