High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Zach LaVine (at SAC – $8,000): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. LaVine picked up where he left off after missing a couple of games with an injury. And now he gets the Kings. LaVine might be the best offensive player on the court and the offense should definitely be there in a big way for both teams. LaVine has proven that he can have monster games and this is certainly shaping up to be a monster game for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

D’Angelo Russell (at LAC – $7,100): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Utah. The return of Dinwiddie has hurt Russell a little bit but he’s still doing enough to at least get you value. He had 51.25 fantasy points against the Clippers on Nov. 17 so we know he can do damage in this matchup, although both teams are in much different places now. I still like Russell to at least get you value and the ceiling is high because he can get hot. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Buddy Hield (vs CHI – $7,000): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Hield has been up-and-down in his last four games. He was down against the Sixers, so if the trend holds, he’ll be up in this game. He should definitely be up given the opponent. Hield should have no issues getting his points while also chipping in with rebounds and assists. He’ll deliver in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
