High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Ben Simmons (at DAL – $9,000): Needs 42.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. With Embiid out of the lineup, Simmons should continue to produce in a big way. He’s always a triple-double threat and he’s been over 50 fantasy points in two of his last three and three of his last five. The matchup is very good and this should be another strong night for Simmons. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

D’Angelo Russell (vs MIL – $8,900): Needs 42.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.25 fantasy points against Boston. Russell has been fantastic as of late, going over 50 fantasy points in four of his last six games. The Bucks are the Bucks, but they are also on a back-to-back and could be playing a lineup with only a couple of actual NBA players. The Nets are still playing with effort and Russell will continue to put up strong numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Shaquille Harrison (at NY – $6,500): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Toronto. With all the injuries to the Bulls, Harrison continues to step up in a big way for them. His salary has jumped but the good news is that he gets to play the Knicks on Monday. The circumstances remain great for Harrison because of all the injuries. And did I mention he’s playing against the Knicks. Even at the higher salary, trust him to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
