High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

Lou Williams (vs GS – $8,400): Needs 36.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.4 fantasy points against Golden State. Lou was down in Game 3 but so was everyone on the Clippers as the Warriors decided to care again. Will they care in. Game 4? That is the ultimate question. I expect Lou Will to raise his game given. The circumstances. And it might not matter. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

CJ McCollum (at OKC – $8,300): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.9 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. McCollum has played well in this series and we know he has a high ceiling with his shooting. And he’s definitely shot well in this series. He’s a guy I don’t worry about on the road while other Portland role players may continue to struggle. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Dennis Schroder (vs POR – $5,500): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37 fantasy points against Portland. Schroder can be all over the place because that’s how Schroder is. But the minutes and opportunities are going to be. There for him. And role players are better at home. And as much as some want to deny it, Schroder is a role player. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (at LAC – $4,500): Needs 19.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.9 fantasy points against LA Clippers. There’s some good value at shoot guard. Danny Green is a reliable option, Jaylen Brown and Terrence Ross have high ceilings. But Iguodala is reliable and has a high ceiling. He’s at a great salary and he plays big minutes for the best team in the West. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
