High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (at BOS – $9,900): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.4 fantasy points against Brooklyn. There’s a lot to like with the shooting guard position on Friday. But Beal is the most reliable option and has a high ceiling to boot. He’s going to cost you, but there’s some good value elsewhere and you can’t put a price on a guy like Beal, who has been consistent all season. Plus, the Celtics are a mess right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Zach LaVine (at ATL – $8,300): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45 fantasy points against Memphis. LaVine has been playing well during this recent stretch and now he has a great matchup against the Hawks. The pace will be up and that’s the kind of game LaVine typically plays well in. The scoring numbers will be there and he’s really picked it up as a playmaker. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (at SAC – $7,600): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.4 fantasy points against Utah. Again, there’s a lot to like at the shooting guard position. I like Buddy Hield in this spot if you want to save some money, Jrue Holiday is reliable, and Russell has a high ceiling. But I like this matchup for Williams because I expect him to raise his level in this big game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
