High Salary PG

Eric Bledsoe-Phoenix Suns (9,700): Bledsoe has played under 30 minutes in each of his last two games, but he still had 39.3 fantasy points against the Nuggets on 28-4-5 (points-rebounds-assists). Tonight he gets a rematch in that excellent matchup as the Nuggets come to Phoenix to finish their home-and-home. Bledsoe has at least 38 fantasy points in six of his last seven games, and he should be able to get back to 40+ fantasy points given his matchup and opportunity tonight.∗∗∗

Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (8,300): After being questionable with illness Wednesday, Walker played against the Warriors and finished with an impressive 26-3-8 for 42.6 fantasy points. He followed that up last night with another big game against the Knicks with 31-10-5 for 51.5 fantasy points. Tonight’s back-to-back closer features Kemba hosting the Kings which should be a good matchup for him as he faces Sacramento’s suspect backcourt defense. The risk factor for Walker tonight is just that he’s playing for the second day in a row.∗∗

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (7,500): Dragic is carrying the load for the Heat since Miami is missing so many offensive options. Last night, he tore up the Bulls for 26-5-11 while adding three steals for 49.5 fantasy points. He has over 38 fantasy points in four of his last six games, and he should be abel to attack Detroit who has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PG over their last five games.∗∗∗∗

Ricky Rubio-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,700): Rubio has been posting good non-scoring numbers lately and has double-digit assists in seven straight games not counting the game he was forced to leave with a hip injury. Rubio had 4-2-12 with four steals for 29.4 fantasy points on Thursday. He now has at least 29 fantasy points in each of those seven games and should be around 30 fantasy points again tonight as the Wolves welcome the Nets who allow more fantasy points to opposing PG than any other team in the NBA.∗∗∗∗
