High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Damian Lillard (vs DET – $10,800): Needs 47.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 62 fantasy points against Dallas. With no CJ McCollum, Lillard has had to be at his best. And he’s been at his best. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games and over 60 fantasy points in his last two. The Pistons are all over the place as a team but the Blazers at home, with McCollum out of the lineup, should be easy money for another big Lillard game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Ben Simmons (at ATL – $9,500): Needs 42.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.1 fantasy points against Boston. Ben Simmons has played well in the last two games and the Hawks are always an easy matchup. Simmons is averaging 56.7 fantasy points in two games against the Hawks this season and 1.62 FPPM. He’ll get his numbers in a big way because every great player gets numbers against the Hawks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (vs PHO – $8,900): Needs 39.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.1 fantasy points against Dallas. I’m going to assume that Mike Conley will also play and he’s been on a roll as of late if you want to spend a little extra money. He’ll be fresh with the rest of the Grizzlies on a back-to-back, which also helps. THere’s also some value with Satoransky and Rubio (I prefer Rubio). But Fox is playing great right now and he gets the Suns. The Kings are all but buried but they’re still giving it there all and building towards next season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
