High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Stephen Curry (at NO – $9,000): Needs 42.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. I don’t know how much the Warriors are going to try in this game but I do know that even in limited minutes, Curry is going to get numbers against this version of the Pelicans. If nothing else, he’s going to be a reliable option. But expect more given the matchup and the way the Warriors offense is humming right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Andrew Wiggins (vs TOR – $6,800): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.75 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Wiggins is Wiggins but he’s been playing well and he’s coming off a strong game against the Thunder. He also typically does well against the Raptors because he’s from Canada. And the Raptors have nothing to play for, which certainly helps Wiggins’ case. He should deliver once again in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Walt Lemon Jr. (vs NY – $6,400): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Lemon Jr. has been up-and-down since getting these minutes for the Bulls. And we hasn’t great against the Knicks on Apr. 1, finishing with just 22 fantasy points. But he was down in his last game so the trend says he’ll be back up in this one. And it’s the Knicks. Who has two bad games against the Knicks? Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
