High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Ben Simmons (vs BKN – $9,800): Needs 43 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 57.7 fantasy points against Atlanta. Simmons has been very good in the last three games, going over 46 fantasy points in all three contests. He had 57.1 fantasy points against the Nets on Dec. 12 and has averaged 49.2 fantasy points in three games against them. There should be plenty of offense in this one and Simmons will lead the Sixers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (at NO – $8,600): Needs 37.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40 fantasy points against Dallas. Fox has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games and four of his last five. The Kings are all but done in the playoff race but they’ll continue to battle. And they have a great matchup as the Pelicans are banged up and have punted on the season anyway. Fox should continue to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Eric Bledsoe (vs LAC – $7,700): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.1 fantasy points against Houston. Bledsoe has been raising his game as of last, going over 37 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He had a clunker in the playoffs last season and it looks like he’ll want to make up for that coming into this postseason. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
