High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (10,200): Wall gets another great matchup tonight as he and the Wizards host the Pelicans. He has at least 52 fantasy points in three of his last five games including a massive 53.75 last Sunday when he took on New Orleans. After a only 40.5 fantasy points against New York, Wall bounced back with 62.75 fantasy points on 33-3-11 (points-rebounds-assists) against the Lakers on Thursday. Tonight, he should be able to get to 50+ fantasy points since the Pelicans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG.∗∗∗

Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors (9,600): As the Warriors  head to Sacramento tonight, there’s definitely potential for a blowout. However, Curry is still worth a look since he has re-emerged as a DFS stud and is coming off of three straight games with 55+ fantasy points. He just had 29-3-11 double-double against the Clippers. Curry’s only risk is that the game turns on-competitive before he gets enough chances to fill it up.∗∗

Kyrie Irving-Cleveland Cavaliers (8,200): Irving gets a nice matchup in the ABC game against Brandon Jennings who will start again for an injured Derrick Rose (officially doubtful). Irving has at least 37 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games and has posted a pair of double-double’s in his last three games with 29-3-10 for 51.25 fantasy points against OKC on Sunday and 14-2-14 for 41 fantasy points in his last game on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. With a chance to shine at the Garden, look for Irving to step up and take advantage of the matchup especially if he keeps creating so effectively.∗∗∗∗

Jeff Teague-Indiana Pacers (7,500): Last night, Teague had a great matchup against the Nets and came through with 24-3-7 in 34 minutes in Brooklyn for a total of 43.75 fantasy points. He has at least 41 fantasy points in four of his last five games and he gets a good matchup with Detroit tonight who he has averaged 18-6-8 against in two meetings earlier this season. He has had some trouble on the second half of back-to-backs which does kick up the risk tonight.∗∗

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (7,400): If you need a PG play under 8K, take a look at the Miami Heat’s Goran Dragic. Dragic has 41+ fantasy points in four of his last five games. During that stretch, his best game was his 26-5-11 against Chicago which resulted in 54.24 fantasy points. He has followed that with 41.75 fantasy points and 43.75 fantasy points in is last two games. Tonight, he gets another good opportunity as he and the Heat host the Sixers.∗∗∗∗

Brandon Jennings-New York Knicks (6,000): Since Derrick Rose is officially doubtful with his on-going ankle issue, Jennings looks ready to get the start again tonight against the Cavs. Jennings shot a woeful 1-11 on Wednesday night but still ended up with decent fantasy numbers since he had 6-3-10 and five steals in his 43 minutes against the Nets for 33.75 fantasy points. He has at least 33 fantasy points in each of his three starts in place of Rose, and he should get lots of work against Kyrie and the Cavs tonight.∗∗∗∗
