High Salary PG

Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (9,500): Lillard let his owners down on Tuesday with just 31.9 fantasy points against the Thunder while only playing 30 minutes. He was on the second night of back-to-back games and the game situation dictated he didn’t need to produce as much. Lillard had two monster games against the Nuggets earlier this season with 32-8-6 (points-rebounds-assists) for 57.6 fantasy points and 37-5-7 for 54.5 fantasy points. The Nuggets are still allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG, so Lillard should be able to put up another big number against them in Denver tonight. Lillard had at least 44 fantasy points in four of his previous five games before Tuesday’s letdown.∗∗∗∗

Eric Bledsoe-Phoenix Suns (8,300): Bledsoe has been red hot lately for the Suns and has at least 47 fantasy points in three straight games after going off for 31-6-8 and 51.2 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Knicks. Bledsoe has at least 30 points in three straight and gets a good matchup against the Spurs who are playing the second night in a row. I think he’ll stay hot against the Spurs as the Suns look to pick up their third win in their last four games. ∗∗∗

Jeff Teague-Indiana Pacers (7,000): Teague is a nice play again tonight as the Pacers take on the Pelicans. He’s getting a little bit more usage with Monta Ellis and as a result he had 16-5-11 for 36.5 fantasy points against the Hornets on Monday. Last night, he struggled in a tough matchup with Miami only getting 24.1 fantasy points on 10-3-5 with two steals. In the more attackable matchup, I think he’s a solid pick for 30 fantasy points although he needs to get to 35 go be a full 7K value.∗∗
