High Salary PG

John Wall, WAS vs CLE ($9,500): Wall still doesn’t look 100 percent comfortable following the knee injury. His minutes have been down, but they should climb above 30 in this one. Wall had 47.7 fantasy points against Cleveland on Nov. 3, but that was far worse Cavaliers squad. Cleveland ranks third against the position in their last 15 games. Wall’s points and assists have been down since returning. In more discouraging news, they were down prior to his injury as well, aside from an overtime game against Charlotte. Wall is risky given the matchup and injury issues. **

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs SAC ($8,600): After posting back-to-back sub-30 fantasy point games, Lowry bounced back with 51 fantasy points in 31 minutes against the Nets. He had 39.4 fantasy points against the Kings a week ago. His scoring has been down in each of his last six games, which is a bit concerning, but his rebounding and assist numbers have remained strong. His scoring should be back up against the Kings while he continues to collect rebounds and points. *****

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN vs IND ($7,500): Dinwiddie had 13.9 fantasy points in 22 minutes on Friday against the Raptors. Prior to that game he had put up back-to-back 40+ fantasy point games. His minutes should be back up, assuming he doesn’t struggle as much as he did against Toronto. The Pacers are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Dinwiddie’s usage rating has dropped to 28.2 percent in his last five games, which is a bit concerning given that it was near 30 percent not too long ago. ***
