High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

James Harden (at UTA – $10,800): Needs 51.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 68.75 fantasy points against Utah. As always, you know what you’re getting from James Harden. He’s been great this series and the Jazz clearly have no answer for him. The Jazz will be better at home but there is no stopping Harden in this series. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Khris Middleton (at DET – $6,800): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against Detroit. Another reliable option would be Middleton, who plays on the best team in the league and remains up against a great matchup. He’s been strong during this series and remains at a good salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Caris LeVert (vs PHI – $5,500): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. LeVert has been up-and-down in this series but he’s a high ceiling guy. The minutes and opportunities will be there for him all series. And I still don’t trust the Philly defense. And I always like streaky players more at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Gary Harris (at SA – $5,300): Needs 24.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30 fantasy points against San Antonio. Hart has stepped up in this series and he’s a guy I trust to keep it going, even on the road and in San Antonio. The Nuggets top guys can be all over the place but Harris remains at a good enough salary given his role on the team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
