High Salary Guards

Players costing over $8,333

Kyle Lowry (vs MIL – $8,000): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.75 fantasy points against Milwaukee. As always, you can expect consistency from Lowry. And with a chance to push the Raptors to the Finals, I think Lowry will deliver one of the best games of his playoff career. Or the absolute worst. I haven’t quite made up my mind. Just kidding, I love Lowry on Saturday and if nothing else, he’s going to be around value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Malcolm Brogdon (at TOR – $7,200): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.75 fantasy points against Toronto. Brogdon bounced back in Game 5 because he was always going to bounce back in Game 5. He’s a consistent option and I expect him to play plenty of minutes in this game with the Bucks season on the line. Brogdon will show up once again because that’s what he does. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Khris Middleton (at TOR – $8,600): Needs 36.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34 fantasy points against Toronto. Middleton did everything but score in Game 5 and that’s slightly concern but also reason for optimism because the scoring is usually the easy part of him. Expect the Bucks to try and get him going early in order to squeeze a big game out of him. Other numbers may dip but the scoring will be there. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
