High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Bradley Beal (vs UTA – $9,400): Needs 44 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.75 fantasy points against Memphis. It’s Bradley Beal. I’m not doubting Bradley Beal. The matchup doesn’t matter, the circumstances don’t matter. It’s Bradley Beal. You can always take him with confidence. Unless something goes horribly wrong, Beal will get his usual numbers. You can always build around him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (at WAS – $8,200): Needs 39.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. If nothing else, Mitchell is going to get you value in this matchup. But you should expect more because the Jazz are up against the Wizards. Mitchell remains the top offensive option on the Jazz and can do a bit of everything with his offense. I love this matchup but if you want to save a bit of money, you can do with LaVine against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Klay Thompson (at SA – $7,600): Needs 35.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Until I see Klay Thompson miss a shot, I’m just going to assume that he’ll make every shot until the Warriors are holding up their third trophy. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in four straight games and five of his last six. It’s a tough matchup, but the Spurs can’t guard everyone. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
