High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Steph Curry (at CHA – $9,300): Needs 43.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.75 fantasy points against Houston. Steph has fallen into a nice little spot and you typically know what you’re going to get from him. The scoring will be there, they make sure he gets his rebounds, and he’ll chip in with assists. And you know he wants to put on a show once again in front of the Charlotte crowd. And the Warriors are coming off a tough loss so they’ll be up even more for this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (vs PHI – $7,700): Needs 36.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.25 fantasy points against LA Lakers. With Davis out of the lineup, Holiday becomes even more reliable. He’s been a bit erratic with all of this Davis drama going on so if Davis plays, I don’t like him quite as much. But Holiday typically brings it against the Sixers. He had 55.5 fantasy points against them earlier this season. If Davis is out, you can take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Buddy Hield (at MIN – $6,600): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.25 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Hield has settled into his role and he’s shown a high ceiling. The matchup is a good one because the Timberwolves aren’t a great team and the Kings are looking to make a big playoff push. Hield is shooting hot and he’ll chip in with rebounds and assists. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
