High Salary Guards

Players costing over $12,000

Steph Curry (vs TOR – $16,000): Needs 53.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.1 fantasy points against Toronto. I’m worried about the Warriors and Steph in this one. Not because they can’t pull it off. But because I’m not fully buying into the comeback. I think Game 5 was an emotional rollercoaster for the Warriors where they rose to the occasion. They can do it again but the Raptors have proven to be the better team in this series. Still, it’s Steph and you can rarely go wrong with Steph. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyle Lowry (at GS – $12,000): Needs 40.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.8 fantasy points against Golden State. Lowry wasn’t bad in Game 5. He just had a miserable closing stretch and that’s all anyone will remember. I’m worried that will carry over into Game 6, especially on the road. We know Lowry’s history and how he can get tight in these moments. He’ll get his numbers but there are red flags there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Klay Thompson (vs TOR – $11,500): Needs 38.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.2 fantasy points against Toronto. GAME 6 KLAY WILL BE IN THE BUILDING! I love Klay in this game because I always love Klay in Game 6. For some reason, he simply comes alive when his team needs him in this particular game. And the Warriors definitely need him in this one. Klay will deliver and should be a STAR at the very least. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
