High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (9,700): Wall and the Wizards couldn’t quite keep up with Steph and the Warriors last night, and Wall’s shooting woes and the game situation let to him finishing with just eight points in his 34 minutes. He still had 11 assists and an uncharacteristic four blocks for 38.5 fantasy points, but he’ll need to be more active on the offensive end if the Wizards hope to pick up a bounce-back win in Sacramento.  The Kings have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG this season, so he should be in a good place to post a solid number.  When he faced the Kings earlier this season, Wall only had 12 points but turned in a season-high 19 assists along with four steals to still have a good fantasy day. Since both the Kings and Wizards avoid playing defense whenever possible, it’s a good game to load up on tonight. ∗∗∗

Chris Paul-Los Angeles Clippers (9,400): Paul had a solid double-double on Monday as the Clippers easily dispatched my Celtics.  Paul has only had to play 26 minutes in each of his last two games but still has managed to get over 35 fantasy points in nine of his last ten. He had 40.8 fantasy points on Monday behind 14 assists, 13 points, four rebounds, and three steals.  Tonight, Paul and the Clippers face the T-Wolves who have allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG this season and who have been playing well enough lately that tonight should be a close enough game for CP3 to get his heavier 30+ minute workload which usually results in good things for his fantasy owners. ∗∗∗∗

Ricky Rubio-Minnesota Timberwolves (7,400): One of the reasons for the Timberwolves success lately has been the play of Rubio who has at least 40 fantasy points in five of his last nine games with six double-doubles during that span and five straight games with multiple steals.  Rubio has been scoring the ball well and continuing to add nice non-scoring numbers as well.  While taking on CP3 is a tough matchup, I still think Rubio is on enough of a roll to expect 35+ fantasy points from him tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Brandon Knight-Phoenix Suns (7,200): When he faced Rubio and the T-Wolves on Monday, Knight found his shot and dropped 30 points in 32 minutes to go with five assists, two rebounds, a block, and five turnovers on his way to 36.9 fantasy points. Knight has at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last five games and has the potential to go off like he did against LA last Wednesday for 50.1 fantasy points. He isn’t as “sure-thing” as Rubio, but he has a sky-high upside and a solid matchup tonight against the Bucks.∗∗
