High Salary Guards

Players costing over $12,000

Kyle Lowry (vs MIL – $11,000): Needs 44.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.3 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Lowry was a tad better in Game 3 but the foul trouble hurt his overall numbers. Hopefully, he’s better at keeping his hands to himself in this game. I still like him as a PRO option if you’re going to take him because he is reliable on most nights. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Khris Middleton (at TOR – $11,500): Needs 45.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.3 fantasy points against Toronto. Middleton was better in Game 3 because it would have been impossible for him to be worse than he was in Game 2. He’s possibly moved down the pecking order to Malcolm Brogdon though, which is slightly concerning. But I have a gut feeling about Middleton in this game. It feels like he’s going to deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling

Eric Bledsoe (at TOR – $11,000): Needs 27.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Bledsoe continues to have a solid all-around game but there’s also a lot to hate about his overall game and the Bucks seem to have more trust in Brogdon and Hill, which does Bledsoe no favors. The opportunities will continue to be there for him, which is better than nothing. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
