High Salary PG

Goran Dragic, MIA vs MIL ($6,900): The Bucks are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Dragic has been at value or better in five of his last six. If Tyler Johnson, currently dealing with a pinched nerve in his neck, can’t go or is limited, Dragic should easily be over value. Even if Johnson plays, Dragic has really stepped up with Dion Waiters out. He needs 32 fantasy points to his value and he should easily put up those numbers and then some. ****

Jrue Holiday, NO at NY ($6,800): The Knicks are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. Holiday was bad against them on Dec. 30, contributing just 20.25 fantasy points in that contest. He should fare much better on Sunday. Given his ability to put up solid numbers in all offensive categories, I like him to be over 30 fantasy points. ****

Victor Oladipo, IND at PHO ($9,400): Oladipo missed value against the Cavaliers and has been hit-or-miss in his four games since returning from injury. He still represents the Pacers best shot at a big game, and given the matchup, he’ll likely have a big game on Sunday. The Suns are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. Expect Oladipo to be over 45 fantasy points in this one. ****

Damian Lillard, POR at MIN ($8,700): Lillard has hit value in both games since returning from injury. He had 48 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Dec. 18. The Timberwolves defense has tightened up recently and they are sixth against the position in their last 15 games. Lillard should be around 40 fantasy points in this one. ***
