High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

DeMar DeRozan (vs MIL – $8,200): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.25 fantasy points against Atlanta. DeRozan has been up-and-down in recent games but the Bucks are on a back-to-back, the Spurs are at home, and DeRozan has played very well against them throughout the last couple of seasons. He’s averaging 54.1 fantasy points in his last four games against the Bucks. This is just a matchup he seems to thrive again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (vs PHO – $6,600): Needs 30.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.75 fantasy points against Denver. Klay continues to shoot well and now he gets the Suns. I don’t know what you’re going to get out of the Warriors in this game because they probably won’t care all that much. But even during their recent funk, Thompson was pulling his weight before the injury. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kelly Oubre Jr (at GS – $6,400): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.25 fantasy points against Portland. Oubre Jr has a beast against the Warriors when these two teams met on Feb. 8, finishing with 53.5 fantasy points. It’s a back-to-back for the Suns, but Oubre rarely lacks energy. And if the Warriors don’t care, Oubre Jr will hurt him with that energy. If the Warriors care, then it becomes rougher. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
