High Salary PG

Goran Dragic – Miami Heat ($8100): The price tag is a bit high but Dragic goes up against the Suns tonight and he does it without Dion Waiters, which means increased usage for the Miami point guard. Dragic is averaging just about 19 shots per game over his last three and he’s gone for over 45 FP in two of them. I expect a huge number from Dragic tonight, and I love a Dragic/James Johnson stack for tonight.

Giannis Antetokounmpo – Milwaukee Bucks ($9400): Unfortunately Giannis is the dreaded game-time decision at the time of this writing, which is a shame because I would like him to be the anchor for some of my lineups. He’s already dropped a 61.5 FP game on Portland this season and it’s not as if they are better defensively now. Keep your eyes peeled for news today about Giannis’ health. If he’s a go then I think it’s a good idea to roll with him.

Chris Paul – Los Angeles Clippers ($8400): Paul gets a spicy matchup against the Lakers tonight, and while he will be playing his second game in as many nights, the Clippers still need to protect their playoff seed. That means CP3 will see all of the minutes he needs tonight, although there is blowout potential here. Still, Paul posted a 20/5/13 line good for just over 50 FP against the Lakers earlier this year and he should be close to that again tonight.

Ricky Rubio – Minnesota Timberwolves ($7300): Rubio has fared well against the Spurs with an average of 41.75 FP per game over three contests. He’s posted those numbers even with low shooting percentages of 33 from the field and just 17 from beyond the arc. Rubio doesn’t need to score the ball that much to put up killer fantasy numbers. He’s played only three games at home this month but he’s yet to post a score of less than 44 FP in those games.
