High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Stephen Curry (vs LAC – $9,100): Needs 40.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.7 fantasy points against Cleveland. The Warriors might care about this matchup simply because they want the top seed and could end up playing the Clippers if they push them to 8th, which would be possible with a Warriors victory. You never know how the Warriors are going to feel but Curry typically brings it against the Clippers and we know he can get hot. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Eric Bledsoe (vs ATL – $7,900): Needs 34.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 59.3 fantasy points against Brooklyn. It’s a back-to-back for the Bucks and it’s possible that they rest Bledsoe in this game because of the strong game he just had against the Nets. Or maybe Middleton gets rested. Or Giannis. Who knows with the Bucks. But as long as Bledsoe plays, he’ll deliver given his overall recent play and the matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Elfrid Payton (at SAC – $7,200): Needs 31.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41 fantasy points against Phoenix. Payton bounced back after a couple of rough games with a strong outing against the Suns. Granted, that the Suns, but the Kings are a good matchup with their style and we know Payton has a high ceiling with his style of play. I’m going to trust that he keeps it going in this game simply due to the matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
