High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Buddy Hield (vs NO – $7,100): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.6 fantasy points against Utah. Hield was down against the Jazz but I’m not concerned about that. If De’Aaron Fox doesn’t end up playing in this game, that will definitely help Hield as he’ll get to run more of the offense. Either way, it’s a great matchup and usually one he plays well against. I love his ceiling in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (at GS – $7,000): Needs 29.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.8 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Williams can be a bit up-and-down but this is a matchup that favors him. He always raises his game against the Warriors. He’s been over 38 fantasy points in both games against the Warriors this season and I will always trust him against this matchup. You should trust him as well. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Khris Middleton (vs ATL – $6,900): Needs 29.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.3 fantasy points against Brooklyn. We’ll see if the Bucks rest Giannis in this game. If they do, Middleton’s ceiling is higher but he’s slightly less reliable. But if Giannis plays, he’s more reliable with a lower ceiling. It’s a great matchup but the Bucks have nothing to play for and they know it. I still like Middleton as a nice lower cost option who is going to get you value and possibly do even more given the opponent. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
