High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (vs WAS – $9,000): Needs 38.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.9 fantasy points against Miami. It’s been a rough couple of games for Kemba but I’m willing to give him this one against the Washington defense. He’s averaging 55.2 fantasy points in two games against the Wizards this season and the Wizards have not played defense all season. People will likely shy away give his last two games. He’st too good to keep struggling, especially at home.Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Mike Conley (vs UTA – $8,400): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.6 fantasy points against Portland. Aside from a game against Dallas where he only played 23 minutes, Conley has been very strong since the break. You never have to question his effort, even with the Grizzlies going nowhere. The matchup is tough but the Grizzlies are at home and Conley may have some anger at Utah for not including Dante Exam in a deal for him. Maybe? Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Chris Paul (vs PHI – $8,400): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.2 fantasy points against Toronto. Have you seen the Philadelphia defense without Embiid? It’s been bad and Jimmy Butler looks like he wants to strangle everyone. And now they are going up against an offensive master in Chris Paul. He’s going to have a field day with this defense and will do more to confuse them than James Harden, who does most of his damage in isolation. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
