High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR at MIN ($9,000): Lillard has been over value in both games since returning from injury. He played 38 minutes against the Pelicans on Friday and appears to have no restrictions moving forward. That’s good news for potential owners moving forward. The Timberwolves are seventh against the position in their last 15 games and have been playing much improved defense as of late. Lillard had 43.1 fantasy points against Minnesota on Dec. 18. He should be over 40 fantasy points once again on Sunday. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at MIA ($7,600): Bledsoe has been inconsistent in recent games, bidding value in three of his last five. He’s coming off a 39.3 fantasy point performance against the Warriors. The insertion of Malcolm Brogdon to the starting lineup as cut into Bledsoe’s value it would seem. The Heat are 13th against the position in their last 15 games. Based on the matchup and his recent play, he’s a risky player on Sunday. **

Goran Dragic, MIA vs MIL ($7,000): Tyler Johnson is dealing with a sore neck, which means Dragic could see extra minutes and usage. Even if Johnson is able to play, the Heat will likely monitor him and see how he holds up. With or without Johnson, Dragic has been fantastic in recent weeks. He’s been within .6 fantasy points of value or over in eight straight. The Bucks are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. With Johnson, he’s a good play. Without Johnson, he’s a great one. *****
