High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Bradley Beal (at CHI – $9,400): Needs 43.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.5 fantasy points against Utah. Alright, so Bradley Beal finally had an off night. Does that mean you should give up on him? Of course. It just means he’s going to bounce back in a big way. He certainly has the matchup to do it against because the Bulls aren’t going to play defense, neither are the Wizards, and Beal still gives a damn. I think. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Zach LaVine (vs WAS – $7,800): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37 fantasy points against Phoenix. LaVine has been down a bit against two good matchups, which has me a little concerned, but not too concerned to stay away from him in this matchup. He had 40.5 fantasy points against the Wizards on Feb. 9 and I feel like he has a bigger game in him on Wednesday night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Khris Middleton (at CLE – $6,700): Needs 31 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.5 fantasy points against LA Lakers. It’s a back-to-back for the Bucks but it’s against the Cavaliers so does it really count? If Giannis is out, you sort of know the deal with Middleton. He’s not quite as reliable but his ceiling is higher because there’s more attention on him but there are also more opportunities for him. And it’s the Cavaliers. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
