High Salary PG

Terry Rozier, BOS vs POR ($7,000): Kyrie Irving has already been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers, which means Rozier will start again. He’s averaging 52.8 fantasy in his two starts with Irving out of the lineup and has performed well over value since Marcus Smart went down with an injury late last week. The Trail Blazers are 21st against the position in their last 15 games. Rozier has another chance to make a big impact and based on his recent play and the matchup, it’s a safe bet that he performs over value again. Expect him to give you a minimum of 35 fantasy points in this one. ****

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN vs MIL ($6,600): Dinwiddie has been over value in his last two games. D’Angelo Russell is starting to look healthier, but Dinwiddie remains the top perimeter option with Russell serving as a great second banana for the time being. The Bucks are seventh against the position in their last 15 games, so this isn’t a great matchup on paper for Dinwiddie. He had 20.75 fantasy points against Milwaukee on Jan. 26. He’s playing well recently and the Bucks defense isn’t great, ranking 22nd in the league. ****

Kemba Walker, CHA at PHO ($9,400): A guy who has posted 50-plus fantasy point games in three of his last four against the Suns defense? Yes, please. Walker needs 42.1 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He should easily be over that number given how poor Phoenix has been all season, but especially as of late. This game likely won’t be the blowout that the Suns have become accustomed to in recent contests, but that just means more time for Walker to post monster scoring numbers. *****
