High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Trae Young (at ORL – $7,400): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – fantasy 40.5 points against Boston. You sort of know what you’re getting from Young at this point. He’s been playing great on most nights since the break and even though it’s a back-to-back, he has young legs so he should still be able to perform without an issue. He’ll get his numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs CHI – $7,100): Needs 34.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Philadelphia.Fox was down against the Sixers but I’m not concerned. Especially with this matchup against the Bulls. You’ll read plenty about this game in the upcoming slides (it’s a four game slate, what do you expect?) Because all the fantasy points should be scored in this game. Fox will bounce back in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Chris Paul (vs MIN – $6,700): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against Golden State. If James Harden doesn’t end up playing, that’s great news for th value of Paul. He’s already a reliable option just due to the team he’s on and the salary, but no Harden means he’ll be the one running show. The matchup is great and one he should definitely take advantage of. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
