High Salary PG

Jamal Murray, DEN at PHO ($6,500): Murray had 8.75 fantasy points against the Rockets on Friday. He’s been hit-and-miss in back-to-back contests this season, hitting value in five of nine back-to-back contests. But the Nuggets have had brutal opponents on back-to-backs this season. The Spurs (twice), Timberwolves, Warriors (twice), and Celtics make up six of their nine contests. The Suns are the easiest back-to-back they’ll have all season. Murray and the Nuggets had been great prior to Friday’s game against the Rockets. They’re too good to perform at that level against Phoenix. *****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at ORL ($7,100): The Bucks are on a back-to-back, but they should have a much easier time against the Magic than they did against the heat. Bledsoe had 32.75 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 10. That number would put him just over value on Saturday. The Magic are 18th against the position in their last 15 games. Bledsoe wasn’t great against Miami, but the Magic defense is night and day compared to Miami. Expect a nice bounce back game for the Milwaukee guard as he goes over 35 fantasy points. ****

Elfrid Payton, PHO vs DEN ($6,600): Payton is scheduled to make his Suns debut on Saturday and it can’t come soon enough for Phoenix. The Suns will be without Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis, which means Payton could see a heavy workload in his first game with his new team. The Nights are on a back-to-back and rank 26th against point guards in their last 15 games. The matchup and circumstances dictate a big night for Payton. Dennis Smith Jr. isn’t a bad play either with his matchup against the Lakers. ****
