High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Damian Lillard (vs DET – $10,100): Needs 49.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 65.25 fantasy points against Dallas. No McCollum means more Lillard and Lillard has continued to deliver. He’s been over 52 fantasy points in his last two games. The Pistons are traveling west and they just aren’t a very consistent basketball team. Meanwhile, Lillard will continue to get it done based on the circumstances. Expect another big night out of him in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Donovan Mitchell (at CHI – $8,500): Needs 40.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Atlanta. Mitchell remains the top option in Utah and now he gets a great matchup against the Bulls. The fact that the Jazz lost to the Hawks in their last game is probably going to have them coming out very strong in this game. And Mitchell will be the point of attack for the Jazz offense. He’ll have a big game and probably push 50 fantasy points. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs PHO – $7,800): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.25 fantasy points against Dallas. The Kings are on their last legs but Fox is going down with a fight. And. Now they get the Suns. This should be a game that produces a lot of offense and I definitely trust Fox to produce offense for the Kings. He had 42 fantasy points against the Suns on Feb. 10 and has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games against them. Expect more of the same from Fox on Saturday. If you want to spend less, grab a returning Mike Conley. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
