High Salary PG
Damian Lillard, POR vs CHI ($9,400): Lillard had 56.3 fantasy points against the Clippers on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers are on a back-to-back, but Lillard has hit value in four of five back-to-back games this season. The Bulls are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. This is a great matchup for Lillard and he’s thrived in back-to-back games. He should put up plenty of points and assists on Wednesday. He needs 39.3 fantasy points to hit value. I like him to be nicely over 40 fantasy points. ****
Kemba Walker, CHA at ATL ($8,500): Walker had 44.8 fantasy points against the Hawks a week ago. He needs 35.5 fantasy points to hit value on Wednesday. His rebounding numbers were down against the Pacers, but I would expect that number to be up against Atlanta given their inability to hit shots. He should score plenty of points and chip in with enough assists to be over 40 fantasy points once again. And there’s always a chance he detonates on offense. *****
Dennis Smith Jr., DAL at PHO ($6,800): Smith Jr. has been up-and-down in his last four. He was up against the Heat, posting 29.4 fantasy points in that contest. If you believe in the trend, that means he’ll be down against the Suns. I would be very surprised if he was down against the Suns. I expect him to be over 30 fantasy points in this one and would honestly be disappointed if he didn’t push 35 fantasy points. This is a great matchup and one he should have no trouble with. ****
