High Salary PG

John Wall, WAS at BKN ($9,300): Wall is a game-time decision, so keep an eye on his status before making any lineup choices involving the Wizards point guard. There’s no telling how he’ll play coming off the knee injury and he was inconsistent prior to the injury. The good news is that he’s facing the Nets, who rank 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. The Nets addition of Jahlil Okafor probably won’t help their defensive struggles either. Wall is risky given that they’ll likely manage his minutes and you never know how guys are going to play after injury, the reward could be worth it **

Dennis Schroder, ATL at CLE ($7,900): Schroder was benched against the Knicks and there’s no telling how he’ll react to that. I’m of the belief that it will motivate him and he’ll turn in a strong performance against Cleveland. The Cavaliers rank seventh against the position in their last 15 games, but Schroder had 34.9 fantasy points against them on Nov. 30. That number would put him right around value in this one. He remains the best perimeter option in Atlanta and it’s tough to envision him not being back over 30 minutes. ***

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN vs WAS ($7,000): Dinwiddie has missed value in two of his last three, but one game was due to foul trouble and the other, he missed value by just three points. The addition of Okafor may cut into his usage, but it could also increase his assist totals, which is already at 6.4 per game. The Wizards are 20th against the position in their last 15, but the return of Wall should improve that number. ***
