High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Bradley Beal (vs DAL – $9,800): Needs 45.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. Beal’s salary keeps climbing but I’m not going away from him. Especially against the Mavericks, who have nothing to play for an aren’t very good in the first place. Beal has been a reliable option all season and that shouldn’t change, even with the higher salary. His ceiling does lower a bit. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (at ATL – $8,200): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.5 fantasy points against Denver. DeRozan got himself back on track a bit at home. The Spurs are back on the road, where they’ve struggled this season. But it’s the Hawks. I’m not saying they’ll beat the Hawks, but they should at least have plenty success on the offense end against the Hawks. And DeRozan is their top offensive player. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jrue Holiday (vs UTA – $7,800): Needs 37 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42 fantasy points against Utah. You just know what you’re getting from Holiday. He’s been reliable all season and with Davis playing less and less, Holiday will continue to be the top star on the Pelicans. The matchup is tough, but he had 42 fantasy points against them just a couple of days ago. Again, you can always count on Holiday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
