High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

James Harden (vs GS – $12,200): Needs 51.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.2 fantasy points against Charlotte. It’s Harden against the Warriors. And it’s a Warriors team that is struggling, which means it’s a Warriors team that will probably come out on fire. But Harden wants this game for his MVP narrative and for potentially catching the Warriors as the top seed. It’s a high salary but he’ll deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Bradley Beal (vs ORL – $11,200): Needs 47.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.3 fantasy points against Sacramento. But if you want to save money and get similar if not better production, there’s Bradley Beal. He’s been fantastic and he’ll continue to be fantastic. There is no doubt about Beal’s game right now. He’s just been outstanding. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (at HOU – $8,000): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.5 fantasy points against Phoenix. The Warriors might be struggling but it’s not Klay Thompson’s fault. He’s been great for weeks now. And with Durant out of the lineup, Klay will get more shots. We could see the return of the Splash Brothers in this one, which is a scary thought. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
