High Salary PG

John Wall, WAS vs MIL ($9,700): The Bucks are a mess right now and they are on a back-to-back. That’s a bad sign against the Wizards, who always raise their game against top teams. Wall has been over value in seven straight. He had 46.75 fantasy points against the Bucks on Jan. 6. That number would put him just over value on Monday. I like him to push 50 fantasy points given Milwaukee’s current struggles. ****

Goran Dragic, MIA at CHI ($7,200): The Bulls are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. Dragic is coming off a 34.75 fantasy point performance against the Bucks. The back-to-back worries me a bit given that Dragic has missed value in three of five back-to-back games this season. But he’s been over value in his last two back-to-back games, has been playing really well lately, and has a good matchup in front of him. ****

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs SAC ($11,500): The Kings are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games, but it really doesn’t matter who Westbrook plays at this point. He’s going to be a triple-double threat on every night and always push 60 fantasy points. The Thunder didn’t perform well on Nov. 7 against the Kings. Expect a bounce back performance on Monday. *****

Steph Curry, GS at CLE ($10,200): Curry returned on Saturday after missing a couple of games and had 47.5 fantasy points against the Raptors. He missed the Christmas game against the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are playing their worst basketball since an early season stretch and a matchup against the Warriors is not ideal right now. Curry should be around value with a chance he goes for 50+ fantasy points. ****
