High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Devin Booker (vs CLE – $11,500): Needs 48.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 62.1 fantasy points against Memphis. Booker has been over 60 fantasy points in the last three games and I keep telling you about final month Booker. He’s only out for his scoring numbers and other teams have no reason to care because they keep winning. And now he gets the Cavaliers. His salary is climbing, but I will never doubt final month Booker. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

D’Angelo Russell (vs MIL – $9,600): Needs 40.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.6 fantasy points against Boston. Russell has been good more often than not as of late, going over 45 fantasy points in five of his last six games. He’s raising his game going into the playoffs and now he gets a Bucks team that might be without all of their top players once again. Russell should continue to get it done in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Andrew Wiggins (vs POR – $7,000): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.7 fantasy points against Philadelphia. I’m going to trust Wiggins. Which means he’s probably going to let me down. He’s been playing better as of late and I like this matchup for him because the Blazers defense still isn’t great with Nurkic out of the lineup. And Wiggins has proven that he can do a bit of everything. But he’s also Andrew Wiggins. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
