High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

D’Angelo Russell (vs WAS – $8,700): Needs 41.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.75 fantasy points against San Antonio. Russell continues to be hot and now he has a great matchup against the Wizards. You can always bet against the Wizards because they’ve shown no defense all season. Russell is shooting hot and he’s picking up plenty of assists. Any rebounds are just a bonus. He should be in for another big night in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (vs MIN – $8,300): Needs 40.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.25 fantasy points against Houston. Speaking of guys who are hot. Young was on a roll going into the break and he’s remained on a roll coming out of the break. The Hawks pace lends itself to plenty of DFS points and that should be the case once again in this one. He’s earned this trust. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (vs LAC – $8,200): Needs 38.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46 fantasy points against Dallas. The Jazz need Mitchell to be great and he’s been great. I have no doubts about Mitchell right now, especially in this game. He does everything in their offense and there should be plenty of offense against the Clippers. He had 43 fantasy points against the Clippers on Jan. 16. Expect more in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
