High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Damian Lillard (at DET – $10,700): Needs 47.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.1 fantasy points against Atlanta. It’s a back-to-back for the Blazers but I’m not in the business of doubting Damian Lillard right now. He’s just playing too well and with all the injuries, he’ll have to keep playing well. No Nurkic still hurt and I wouldn’t put too much stock into wins over the Bulls and Hawks. But again, I’m just not doubting Lillard. He’s too good. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Ben Simmons (at MIN – $9,700): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.8 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Simmons was disappointing against the Nets but this is a great chance for him to bounce back. Embiid will be out of the lineup and it’s the Timberwolves on a back-to-back. The Timberwolves aren’t a good team and they probably won’t have a lot of energy for the Sixers. Unless Jimmy Butler just gets on their nerves. I still trust Simmons to deliver big. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mike Conley (at PHO – $8,600): Needs 37.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.2 fantasy points against Golden State. Conley has been down a bit in the last two games but I wouldn’t be worried about them. Not with this matchup. You can always bet against the Suns, especially a Suns team that doesn’t care about defense and only cares about letting Devin Booker score. Conley will pick them apart. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
