High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

D’Angelo Russell (at MIL – $9,000): Needs 38 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.4 fantasy points against Toronto. Russell continues to play excellent basketball for the Nets and with the Nets still playing with effort and the Bucks not having much to play for, Russell should continue to lead the Nets and contributing in a big way to your DFS team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Khris Middleton (vs BKN – $6,900): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.6 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Middleton may not play big minutes in this game but he’s at a good enough salary to where the minutes he does play, he’ll be able to contribute and get his numbers. It’s a good matchup and the Bucks offense will be there without a doubt because their offense is just that good. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Walter Lemon Jr (vs PHI – $6,000): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.6 fantasy points against Washington. Lemon Jr’s salary has gone from $0 to $6,000 in a week because the last couple of weeks of the season are absolutely weird. The Sixers are a good matchup and we know Lemon Jr. can deliver, largely because the Bulls don’t have anyone else who can deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Sterling Brown (vs BKN – $4,500): Needs 19 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.5 fantasy points against Philadelphia. You can spend a little more and go with Connaughton, who should have a bounce back night. Or spend less and go with TLC, who is playing well and starting. It’s a good night to save at the shooting guard position, though it’s a good night to save all around with the lack of options. Brown is playing well and should continue to get it done in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
