High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS at CHI ($10,400): The Bulls are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Curry missed value by .9 fantasy points against the Cavaliers, a rare miss for him on the season, but once again showing that he doesn’t miss by much. He had 52.75 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Bulls on Nov. 24. The Bulls are a much improved team since then, but Curry never has an issue putting up points and assists. Expect him to be around 50 fantasy points on Wednesday. ****

John Wall (WAS at CHA ($9,700): Wall has hit value in eight straight and has gone over 50 fantasy points in four straight. He had 53.75 fantasy points against the Hornets on Nov. 22. Few players are playing better, in terms of fantasy numbers, than Wall right now. His scoring is up, his assists remain near or over double-digits, and he contributes on the defensive end. The Hornets are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. If recent play and matchup are any indication, Wall is in for another huge night. *****

Goran Dragic, MIA at MIL ($7,600): Dragic has hit value in four straight and seven of his last eight. Tyler Johnson is listed as doubtful on Wednesday, which should keep Dragic’s usage rate in the top two on the team. He had 34.75 fantasy points against the Bucks last week. The Bucks 26th against the position in their last 15 games. At this price, he should easily exceed value and potential give you 40 fantasy points. *****
