High Salary Guards

Players costing over $8,333

Stephen Curry (at LAC – $10,400): Needs 50.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against LA Clippers. This is a Steph Curry game. Durant had his games, the Warriors won a couple of them and they lost the most recent one. But this is a Steph Curry game. Everyone knows it. The Warriors know it. The Clippers know it. Kevin Durant probably doesn’t know it. But we know it. I have nothing but confidence in Curry in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs GS – $10,000): Needs 46.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.5 fantasy points against Golden State. Of course, there is always Lou Williams. You know he isn’t going to go down without a fight and he will obviously get. The minutes and opportunities. THis still feels like a Warriors blowout bu every game feels like a Warriors blowout. I still expect Lou to get numbers because that’s what he does. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (at LAC – $7,600): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Have you met Game 6 Klay? For some reason, this guy does not miss in Game 6. He’s been a bit off throughout this series but I’m high on the splash brothers because they usually correct things after a loss. They need to correct Curry and Thompson getting more shots. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
