High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Eric Bledsoe (vs ATL – $8,900): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 62.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Bledsoe is coming off a big game against the Nets and now he gets the Hawks. I don’t know who will be resting for the Bucks in this game but if Giannis is out, Bledsoe’s ceiling is higher. Either way, given the opponent, this should be an easy night at the office for Bledsoe as both teams trade buckets. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Chris Paul (vs PHO – $7,300): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against New York. The Rockets are resting players right now and they certainly should need Harden to be Harden against the Suns. Paul is at a great salary given his role in the Rockets offense and the matchup. If nothing else, he’s going to get you value in this game. But expect more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Lou Williams (at GS – $7,000): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36 fantasy points against LA Lakers. This is Lou’s matchup. And if Gallinari doesn’t end up playing, the Clippers are going to need more firepower from their best offensive player. Williams always raises his game against the Warriors and with the state of the Warriors defense, he’ll do it again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
