High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kemba Walker (at CLE – $9,700): Needs 43.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.1 fantasy points against Detroit. The Hornets are not dead yet which means Kemba Walker is not dead yet. And he has a great matchup against the Cavaliers. These last two days are all about identifying who still has something to play for and who is going to be held out of the lineup. And who has a contract goal to meet. I hate these last two days. But Walker has something to play for and that should help him in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Elfrid Payton (vs GS – $7,300): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.2 fantasy points against Sacramento. Payton is getting plenty of minutes and with the injuries to the Pelicans guards, he has to pick up even more of the slack. The Warriors don’t care about defense and that should help Payton get his numbers in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Alex Caruso (vs POR – $6,800): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.5 fantasy points against Utah. This is Alex Caruso’s world and we’re just living in. it. The minutes are there in a big way and the Lakers need something. And he’s definitely giving it to them right now. The Blazers defense isn’t great and Caruso has proven that he can put up strong numbers. He remains at a good salary compared to the rest of the field and can over play his value in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
