High Salary Guards

Players costing over $12,000

Kyle Lowry (at MIL – $13,000): Needs 52.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Lowry showed up in a big way in Game 1. But can he do it again? His playoff history is against him but as I’ve been saying, he’s better than given credit for when it comes to DFS numbers. He’s worth a top three pick if you’re going to take him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Khris Middleton (vs TOR – $12,000): Needs 48.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.2 fantasy points against Toronto. Middleton didn’t shoot well in Game 1 but he managed to make himself valuable with his rebounding. He’ll shoot better in Game 2 though his rebounding might take a tick down. He’s still a reliable option and a good third, maybe second, pick. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling

Eric Bledsoe (vs TOR – $9,500): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21 fantasy points against Toronto. You just never know what you’re going to get from Bledsoe. Sometimes he looks like the best player on the floor and is a complete game-changer. Other times he just doesn’t have it. He’s a risk but maybe one you’re willing to take. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
