High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Kemba Walker (vs ORL – $9,500): Needs 45.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.25 fantasy points against Cleveland. The Hornets need some help, but really they need a win. Which means they will go for the win and play Kemba the minutes necessary. And they go up against the Magic, a team with nothing to play for. Kemba will get his minutes and he’ll do his part in trying to push the Hornets into the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Trae Young (vs IND – $8,900): Needs 42.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.25 fantasy points against Orlando. The Hawks have nothing to play for but Young wants to make a final push for the ROY award. He missed the last game so he’ll try to make up for losing out on those numbers as well. I’m expecting a big night out of Young in this game given the circumstances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (at POR – $7,200): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 57 fantasy points against New Orleans. I don’t know what you’re getting out of the Kings in this game but overall I like Fox’s game and the Blazers defense isn’t great. We know Fox has a high ceiling as well. You can always go with Russell Westbrook in this spot if you really want to spend money because his numbers and minutes will be there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
