High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (at LAL – $10,000): Needs 44.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 66.3 fantasy points against San Antonio. Is Kemba Walker burnt out? Who knows. But he’s going to go down swinging and he gets to swing against the Lakers. I love everything about Kemba on Friday. Even if the salary may seem high, he should be over 50 fantasy points with the only concern being a blowout. But the Hornets aren’t exactly a team that is going to bow other teams out. Take him with all the confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Stephen Curry (at MIN – $9,600): Needs 42.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.5 fantasy points against Memphis. As always, you typically know what you’re getting from Curry. He’s been a reliable option for the majority of the season and now he gets the Timberwolves, a matchup he always seems to dominate. He’s averaging 54.9 fantasy points in three games against Minnesota this season. Yeah, this is his matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (vs POR – $8,700): Needs 38.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54.2 fantasy points against New Orleans. You can save money and go with Jamal Murray, who always plays well against the Thunder. And If Paul George doesn’t play for OKC, their defense won’t be good against the Nuggets offense. As for Young, I’m not doubting him right now and I’m not sold on the Portland defense without Nurkic. One game against the Bulls doesn’t change much from my perspective. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
