High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Kemba Walker (vs MIA – $8,300): Needs 40.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.5 fantasy points against Portland. Walker was down a bit against the Blazers and can be a little inconsistent, but he typically plays well against the Heat. He’s averaging 45.8 fantasy points in his last five games against Miami. And with both teams fighting for a playoff spot, this should be a competitive affair. Kemba is the best player on the court and he’ll show up. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Devin Booker (vs NY – $8,100): Needs 38.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.75 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Booker is playing well and now he gets the Knicks. The Suns are better than the Knicks? Yes. Yes, they are. And the Suns are at home, which certainly helps. Booker is doing less with his scoring and doing more with his playmaking but either way he’s getting numbers. And it’s the Knicks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

D’Angelo Russell (vs CLE – $7,900): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37 fantasy points against Dallas. Russell looked more like himself against the Mavericks as he got 37 fantasy points in just 22 minutes. And now he gets the Cavaliers. The Mavericks game was good because it showed he can put up big numbers in limited minutes. His minutes might end up being limited in this one as well because it’s the Cavaliers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
