High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Kemba Walker (at CLE – $9,100): Needs 43.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54.5 fantasy points against Detroit. The Hornets are not dead yet and Kemba will continue to do what he can do to keep the season alive. They need some help, but first off they need to win. And they’ll win against Cleveland. And they’ll win against Cleveland because Kemba is going to have his usual monster outing. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Delon Wright (at DET – $7,100): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.75 fantasy points against Dallas. The Grizzlies are playing anyone willing to walk through the door but one guy who will definitely be in the lineup will be Wright. He continues to play excellent basketball and someone has to get these numbers for the Grizzlies. The Pistons have plenty of play for but they aren’t exactly playing great right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Dwyane Wade (vs PHI – $6,700): Needs 31.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.75 fantasy points against Toronto. It’s the last stand for Wade and I am not in the business of doubting Wade in this game. Not against this Sixers defense. Wade is going to deliver in a big way in this game. I love Wade on Tuesday and unless something goes horribly wrong or Wade is washed overnight, he’ll deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
