High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (vs IND – $9,800): Needs 42.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 65.7 fantasy points against Charlotte. As always, you know what you’re getting from Beal. The Wizards might lose, but he’s going to carry the offense. The matchup is tough but I’m not doubting Beal at this point. He can get it done in all categories and he’s really taken his game to the next level with Wall out of the lineup. You can typically build around Beal with complete confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (vs LAL – $8,900): Needs 38.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.4 fantasy points against Indiana. The Anthony Davis situation makes things tough for Holiday. Davis actually takes away from the Pelicans at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him not play many minutes in this one. And if he doesn’t play much, Holiday will have a big impact. You don’t think Holiday wants this game? He’ll look to make a statement of ‘you would rather play in LA with half these dudes over us?’ And I trust Jrue. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Devin Booker (at ATL – $8,200): Needs 35.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.7 fantasy points against Cleveland. Booker has been more inconsistent than you would like in recent outings but he gets to go up against the Hawks. The Hawks are not only on a back-to-back but their pace just lends itself for opposing teams to have big games against them. And Booker has the highest ceiling of the bunch. Expect a big performance out of him in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
