High Salary PG

Chris Paul, HOU at MIA ($9,300): The heat are fifth against the position in their last 15 games and the Rockets are on a back-to-back. Paul had 38.2 fantasy points against Miami on Jan. 22. That number would put him right at value on Wednesday. The back-to-back is slightly concerning and Miami’s defense can be stifling, but Paul is good enough and the Rockets system is offensive enough to where he should be around value. He’s a slight risk due to his up-and-down play, so proceed with caution. ***

Ricky Rubio, UTA at MEM ($7,600): Rubio has been over value in six straight. Donovan Mitchell is unlikely to struggle the way he did on Monday, but Rodney Hood is unlikely to play as well as he did. Rubio has been the one consistent player on the Utah perimeter in recent weeks. The Grizzlies are on a back-to-back, but rank 10th against the position in their last 15 games. He’s playing at a high level right now and until he slows down, he’s worth adding to your team. ****

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN at DET ($6,900): Dinwiddie posted 41.1 fantasy points in 25 minutes against the Rockets on Monday. He’s been hit-and-miss in back-to-back situations this season, but the limited minutes should allow for fresh legs on Tuesday. He had 29.3 fantasy points against the Pistons on Jan. 21, but only 9.1 fantasy points against them on Jan. 10. The back-to-back is a bit concerning, but he’s earned the benefit of the doubt with his recent play. ***
