High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Bradley Beal (vs MEM – $9,300): Needs 43.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.75 fantasy points against Charlotte. I don’t doubt Bradley Beal. I don’t like this matchup for him because it’s a back-to-back and the Grizzlies can make things a drag. But I don’t doubt Bradley Beal. He’s been too good this season and despite the red flags, I can’t doubt Beal until I see him cool off. The lower salary helps his cause. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (vs BKN – $8,300): Needs 39.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.75 fantasy points against Minnesota. Mitchell continues to deliver for the Jazz as he’s their only offensive option on most nights. And the Nets are a good matchup with their defense and being on a west coast road trip. You can go with Curry in this spot as he always seems to play well against the Thunder. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Klay Thompson (at OKC – $7,400): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43 fantasy points against Houston. Speaking of guys who always play well against the Thunder. Thompson is shooting lights out right now and while the Thunder defense has looked better, the Warriors, especially Thompson, are pretty unstoppable when they get rolling. And this is a matchup they’ll actually try against. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
