High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Damian Lillard (at TOR – $9,400): Needs 41.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.4 fantasy points against Boston. Lillard finally had his big game on this road trip and the hope is that it jumpstarts him against the Raptors. This is a tough matchup but Lillard lives for these tough matchups. And I’m going to trust him in this one. The Blazers are playing very well right now and Lillard is a big reason why. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Kemba Walker (at BKN – $9,300): Needs 40.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54.8 fantasy points against Houston. Kemba had a big game against the Rockets and now he has a good matchup against the Nets. I love this game from a DFS perspective as there is plenty of good value available and a couple of big-time performers. Kemba is obviously the big-time performer for the Hornets. He’ll get it done in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (vs CHI – $8,800): Needs 38.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 57.6 fantasy points against Minnesota. Young has been rolling since the break and now he has a good matchup against the Bulls. The Hawks pace lends itself to DFS points and Young is the best player on the floor on most nights for the Hawks. Trust him to keep it going, even as his salary rises. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
