High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Bradley Beal (at DEN – $9,600): Needs 40.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.6 fantasy points against Utah. Beal has been over 40 fantasy points in five of his last six and looks to still be playing with effort even though the Wizards have nothing to play for. I still worry that he just packs it in, but he had 46.4 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Mar. 21. As long as he’s playing with effort, he’s going to get numbers as the best player on the team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (vs SAC – $8,900): Needs 37.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.4 fantasy points against Cleveland. DeRozan has settled into a nice rhythm, going over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. The Kings are a great matchup and I worry just how much effort the Kings are going to give in this game seeing as they were just eliminated from the playoffs and their mindset might not be there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs MEM – $7,600): Needs 31.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.2 fantasy points against Cleveland. With Gallinari out of the lineup, they need Williams to pick up his offense but the Clippers are also a balanced team and don’t always have to rely so much on Williams. This feels like a game where they will need his scoring a bit more and we know that he can deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
