High Salary PG

Lou Williams, LAC vs WAS ($7,600): Williams has posted back-to-back games of 40+ fantasy points. Both games came against the lowly Timberwolves defense, but things don’t get much tougher against the Wizards. Washington has the 10th overall defense, but they are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Williams is a microwave scorer who continues to see plenty of opportunities. He’s coming off the bench again, which actually works to his favor and he sees more second-unit players. ****

Dennis Schroder, ATL vs ORL ($7,900): Emmanuel Mudiay just shredded the Magic defense, which should give potential Schroder owners all the confidence in the world on Saturday. Schroder has been over 35 fantasy points in three of his last four and the Magic rank last against the position in their last 15 games. He just had 46.25 fantasy points against Orlando on Wednesday and now he gets them on a back-to-back. *****

Chris Paul, HOU at POR ($7,900): Paul looked like he finally fit in with the Rockets on Thursday, which is a scary thought given how good he and Houston were playing when he wasn’t fitting in. He had 58.25 fantasy points against the Jazz, his highest mark of the season. The Trail Blazers rank seventh against the position in their last 15 games. No one has shown the ability to slowdown the Rockets offense thus far, so keep riding their two stars until they flame out. *****
