High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (9,400): Lillard and Lowry are both good plays as well, but my favorite option over 9K tonight is definitely John Wall since Lillard and Lowry both play pretty good defense while Wall faces a great matchup against the Cavs. In his three games against the Cavs this season, Wall is averaging 25.3 points, 11.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.0 steals.  He only played 29 minutes against them on Sunday ripping off 49.75 fantasy points on 21 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds while LeBron sat out and the game turned into a blowout early.  Tonight, the game should be much closer, but I think that will only help Wall put together bigger numbers.  He has at least 49 fantasy points in four of his last six games, and against Kyrie’s iffy defense, I expect 50+ from him tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (7,800): Walker has over 40 fantasy points in three of his last four games after scoring 30 points in 38 minutes against the 76ers on Wednesday on his way to 46.25 fantasy points. Kemba has only been held under 30 fantasy points once in his last ten games, and I expect him to be productive again tonight against the Pacers.∗∗∗

Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (7,600):  Thomas looked fully healthy  as the Celtics took down Damian Lillard and the Blazers on Wednesday behind 30 points from IT4. Thomas only had two assists in that contest, so he only ended up with 39.5 fantasy points, but normally he’s good for 6+ assists per night.  Tonight, he’ll take on the Knicks struggling backcourt defense who he has averaged 25 points, 7.3 assets, and 5.3 rebounds against in his three games against so far this season.  Thomas has taken his game to another level this year, and Boston is hunting the Raptors for the#2 seed as a result. ∗∗∗∗

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (6,900): Dragic and the Heat picked up a relatively easy win against the Dragon’s former team from Phoenix.  Dragic himself finished with 25 points, seven boards, and four assists for a total of 41.75 fantasy points. He has at least 41 fantasy points in five of his seven games since the All Star break, and he has been a very valuable fantasy play as he produces good numbers alongside Dwyane Wade while Chris Bosh is sidelined.  Dragic is in a great matchup tonight against the 76ers who have been giving up a ton of points lately and should allow him to keep his production flowing.∗∗∗∗

D’Angelo Russell-Los Angeles Lakers (6,300): Russell will continue to get a ton of time at the point for LA especially with Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams both dealing with injuries. Williams has scored at least 22 points in four straight games and has over 39 fantasy points in three of those four contests.  He has been dishing out solid assist numbers while adding some boards, so look for him at the cheaper end of the mid-range plays as he faces the Hawks in the late game on ESPN. ∗∗∗∗∗
