High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (10,200): The Pelicans have been one of the worst teams in the NBA against opposing PG, but Wall comes into tonight’s game with four straight games under 50 fantasy points. I think Wall will have a good game and probably put together a nice line, but his price tag makes him risky.∗∗

Kyle Lowry-Toronto Raptors (8,800): Lowry had 32-3-6 (points-reobunds-assists) against Milwaukee on Friday and his 44.6 fantasy points gave him over 40 in each of his last two games. He has had to lift a little more of the scoring load with DeMar DeRozan out, and he should be able to post another great line tonight against the Magic who had 16-3-10 against in their last meeting mid-December. Lowry is a good play whether DeRozan returns or not, but he has a higher ceiling if he’s doing more of the scoring. No DeRozan-∗∗∗∗ With DeRozan-∗∗∗

Jeff Teague-Indiana Pacers (7,900): Teague and the Pacers host Houston in what should be a high-scoring game in Indianapolis tonight. He’ll have to deal with Patrick Beverley’s defense, but Teague has been showing well lately with at least 39 fantasy points in three of his last four games and four of his last six. On Friday, Teague had 17-8-8 in 43 minutes against the Kings for 39.6 fantasy points.∗∗∗

Jrue Holiday-New Orleans Pelicans (7,600): Holiday’s matchup is a little better than Teague’s tonight as he and the Pelicans host Washington. Holiday had a massive game against Cleveland on Monday when he had 33-6-10 for 62.2 fantasy points. He followed that up later in the week with 14-2-8 for 34.4 fantasy points and 23-4-11 for 47.3 fantasy points. Holiday can be a 20-10 threat when his shot is falling and should be in a good place to produce against Wall and the Wizards in the first NBATV game of the night.∗∗∗∗
