High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (8,900): Wall has at least 42 fantasy points in five of his last six games and has four double-doubles in his last five. He had 15-6-16 (points-rebounds-assists) agaisnt the Thunder on Wednesday for 45.7 fantasy points in the Wizards overtime loss. He has been playing huge minutes lately with 43 and 44 in his last two contests, so there’s no need to worry about any kind of cautious minutes restriction. Tonight, he and the Wizards are in San Antonio to face the Spurs who rank in the middle of the pack in fantasy points per game allowed to opposing PG. While the Wizards haven’t looked good this season, Wall is still averaging 42.6 fantasy points per game making him definitely worth a look at under 9K. ∗∗∗

Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (8,100): It’s a possible revenge game tonight of IT4 as the Kings roll into Boston to continue their East Coast trip. Thomas and the Celtics lost on Wednesday to Detroit while the Kings got an unexpected night off due to the condensation issues in Philadelphia. Thomas will look to attack his former team tonight and continue his strong start to the season. On Wednesday, he had 27 points and 31 fantasy points giving him at least that many fantasy points in each of his last six games and eight of his last nine. Thomas had 42.8 fantasy points on Monday in Miami on 25-4-8, but the bit of a downturn on Wednesday was mostly due to a lack of non-scoring stats. He’ll be active and involved tonight against Darren Collison who was one of the players the Kings decided to keep when they let Thomas sign with the Suns. Since then, IT4 has found a home in Boston and is the focus of the Celtics’ attack. ∗∗∗∗

Derrick Rose-New York Knicks (6,400): If you owned Rose on Wednesday, you’re probably frustrated that the Knicks sat him for most of the fourth quarter while letting Brandon Jennings run the show. He burnt his owners for just 14 fantasy points after posting 46.6 fantasy points and 43.4 fantasy points in his previous two contests. He’ll be a boom-or-bust play again tonight as the Knicks come home for the second half of their home-and-home set against the Timberwolves. It’s a matchup he should be able to attack and find success against if he gets closer to the 38 minutes he had on Monday than the 24 he played on Wednesday.∗∗
