High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Zach LaVine (at SAC – $8,300): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.9 fantasy points against LA Clippers. LaVine looked just fine against the Clippers after missing a couple of games with an injury. And now he gets the Kings. This should be an offensive showdown and LaVine is the best offensive player in this game. Yup, I said it. I love LaVine on Sunday, he should have no issue getting his numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

D’Angelo Russell (at LAC – $7,900): Needs 33.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.2 fantasy points against Utah. Dinwiddie being Dinwiddie again has hurt Russell a bit but he’s settled into a nice salary and continues to get his numbers. If nothing else, he’s reliable. The matchup isn’t great with a back-to-back but the Nets can be a scrappy bunch and they’ve surprised people all season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs BKN – $7,600): Needs 31.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.6 fantasy points against Chicago. The Clippers haven’t needed Williams to be great and so he hasn’t been great. Will he need to be great against the Nets? I have my doubts given that the Nets are on a back-to-back. But we know what Williams is capable of. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
