High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Donovan Mitchell (vs MIL – $8,900): Needs 38.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.1 fantasy points against Denver. Mitchell continues to be the star on offense for the Jazz and they’ll need him again in a tough matchup against the Bucks. The good news is that the Bucks are on a back-to-back and they might end up resting Giannis just because why not? Mitchell continues to get his numbers and when you need tough buckets, you need Donovan Mitchell. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (vs OKC – $8,700): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.6 fantasy points against Detroit. I’m never going to doubt the Spurs at home and I’m really not going to doubt DeRozan when he doesn’t have to deal with Paul George. He should get his scoring numbers in this one and he’ll likely chip in with a handful of assists. I’m loving the Spurs on Saturday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Devin Booker (vs LAL – $8,600): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.5 fantasy points against New Orleans. It’s a back-to-back for Booker and I’m not 100 percent certain he’ll play just because it seems like Booker misses more games than he plays in most seasons. The Lakers are also on a back-to-back and the Suns are at home, which helps his case. The Lakers defense still isn’t good and this should be a fairly offensive affair given the state of both defenses. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
