High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

James Harden (vs UTA – $11,800): Needs 51.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.6 fantasy points against Utah. Harden may have been down in Game 4 but I’m not worried about him being back in Houston. Mitchell has a high ceiling as well but didn’t show up on the road and I don’t know what you’re getting out of Lou. Harden, I trust in this spot. Famous last words. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (vs LAC – $6,700): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.2 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Check and see if Klay took a swim in the ocean before going with him in this game. It’s the only way you can be safe. He showed up in Game 4 but had been struggling this series. I still trust Klay to get you at least value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Eric Gordon (vs UTA – $4,800): Needs 20.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.7 fantasy points against Utah. Gordon has been a reliable option if nothing else. And we know he can get hot, although he’s still the third option when it comes to scoring. You can still trust Gordon in. This spot to at least get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (vs LAC – $4,500): Needs 15.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 15.6 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Iguodala always gets the minutes and he plays for the Warriors. It’s this version of the Warriors in a closeout game. They usually take care of business in this spot and Wednesday should be no exception. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
