High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (vs MEM – $10,500): Needs 43.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. I’m not in the business of doubting Bradley Beal. He’s on a back-to-back and the Grizzlies aren’t the best team to go against when it comes to DFS. But again, I’m not in the business of doubting Bradley Beal. He’s been delivering all season and until I see him slow down, I trust him to deliver again. Maybe not quite as reliable due to the circumstances. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Luka Doncic (vs CLE – $9,800): Needs 41 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.7 fantasy points against Denver. Aside from a rough outing against the Spurs, Luka has been great in his last five games. And now he gets the Cavaliers. You can rarely go wrong against the Cavaliers. And Luka can always do a big of everything. This should be another big outing for him given the opponent. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (at OKC – $8,200): Needs 34.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.2 fantasy points against Houston. Thompson has been on fire and he always seems to play well against the Thunder. Alright, so he hasn’t been great against them this season. But he’s rolling right now and he’s the x-factor in this matchup. Until I see him miss a shot, I’m just going to assume that he’ll never miss a shot. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
