High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (at CHA – $10,500): Needs 44.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.4 fantasy points against Dallas. Beal’s salary hasn’t changed and he continues to put up big numbers. He had 65.7 fantasy points against the Hornets on Feb. 22.There is no doubting Beal right now. He’s been fantastic all season and this is a great matchup for him. Really, the matchup doesn’t matter for Beal. He keeps delivering. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Zach LaVine (vs DET – $8,500): Needs 36.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52 fantasy points against Philadelphia. LaVine bounced back in a big way against the Sixers and even though the Pistons are playing better, LaVine is on a nice roll since the trade and is the Bulls best perimeter option. He hasn’t been great against the Pistons this season, but those were early season games that mattered more. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs OKC – $7,300): Needs 31.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.1 fantasy points against LA Lakers. I didn’t mention Harden but you can always go with Harden, especially against the state of the Sixers. But I like Williams because the Thunder defense is looking rough and they are on a back-to-back. And we know Williams has a big game in him against these tougher teams. He’s a reliable option if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
