High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

CJ McCollum (at OKC – $8,000): Needs 35 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.1 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. McCollum is having a great series and much like Lillard, he’ll need to be even better on the road. And until I see McCollum being locked up by the Thunder, I will continue to take him against the Thunder. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Terrence Ross (vs TOR – $5,500): Needs 24.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.6 fantasy points against Toronto. Ross hasn’t been great in the series but he’s on this list because he’s the only other high salary option even though he’s not a high salary guy. Are you keeping up? The Magic are at home, which should certainly help. I think he’ll be around value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Dennis Schroder (vs POR – $5,000): Needs 21.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 10.2 fantasy points against Portland. Schroder has been terrible this series but the Thunder are at home and they have to shoot better at some point, right? Probably not. Never trust the Thunder. But Schroder will get minutes and opportunities, which counts for something. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Danny Green (at ORL – $4,300): Needs 18.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 12.2 fantasy points against Danny Green. Green continues to get minutes and they’ll need him to step up on the road. He’s at a good salary and we know he can raise his level in the playoffs. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
