High Salary PG

John Wall-Washington Wizards (10,600): Wall is the most expensive PG on the board tonight, but its easy to see why since he has 48 fantasy points or more in five of his last nine including more than 50 fantasy points in two of his last three. He had 50.7 fantasy points when he faced the Pelicans last Sunday while posting 18-1-19 (points-rebounds-assists). After a sub-40-fantasy-point night against New York, Wall bounced back with 58.1 fantasy points on 33-3-11 against the Lakers on Thursday. Tonight, he should be around 50 fantasy points with the Pelicans offering one of the worst PG defenses in the NBA making it a good matchup for the most expensive PG available tonight.∗∗∗

Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors (9,700): There’s definitely potential for a blowout tonight as the Warriors visit the Kings who are playing for the second night in a row. Curry is still worth a look, though, since he has been red hot and is coming in off of three straight games over 50 fantasy points after a 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 (8,600): Irving will get a good matchup in the nationally televised game against Brandon Jennings who will start again for an injured Derrick Rose (officially doubtful). Irving has at least 35 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 47.6 fantasy points against OKC on Sunday and 14-2-14 for 38.4 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.∗∗∗∗

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (8,100): Another PG over 8K who makes a good play tonight is the Heat’s Goran Dragic. Dragic has 40+ fantasy points in four of his last five games. He had his best game during that stretch against the Bulls when he dropped 26-5-11 for 49.5 fantasy points, and he has taken advantage of good matchups against the Hawks and Nets as well. Tonight, he gets another good opportunity as he and the Heat host the Sixers.∗∗∗

Jeff Teague-Indiana Pacers (7,600): Teague came through for my Butler-burned FanDuel daily picks lineup last night and had 24-3-7 in 34 minutes in Brooklyn for a total of 41.1 fantasy points. He has at least 39 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, though, so he’s a little risky tonight.∗∗

Brandon Jennings-New York Knicks (6,500): With Derrick Rose officially doubtful, Jennings should start again tonight against the Cavs. Jennings shot a woeful 1-11 on Wednesday night, but he still ended up with decent fantasy totals since he had 6-3-10 and five steals in his 43 minutes against the Nets for 32.6 fantasy points. He has at least 32 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.∗∗∗∗
