High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR vs MIN ($9,700): Lillard has been over value in five of his last six. The Timberwolves have looked better than expected without Jimmy Butler, but their overall defense remains a big concern. And Lillard is keeping Portland afloat in the West playoff race. He’s averaging 41.7 fantasy points in three games against the Timberwolves this season. That number would put him slightly under value on Thursday. Expect him to be over 45 fantasy points given his recent play and the matchup. ****

Jeff Teague, MIN at POR ($7,700): Teague has been fantastic in the two games without Butler. He had 50.9 fantasy points against the Bulls and followed that up with 42.3 fantasy points against the Kings. The Trail Blazers are a much tougher animal. Still, Teague has seen his usage increase with Butler out of the lineup and his salary is low enough to where he can be nicely over value. He should push 40 fantasy points in this contest. ****

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN at SAC ($7,100): Dinwiddie has missed value in four of his last five as D’Angelo Russell looks to be close to 100 percent. But this matchup is a bit too good to pass up on. The Kings are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Dinwiddie managed just 27.6 fantasy points against the Kings on Dec. 20. Expect a bounce back performance on Thursday. He’ll be over 30 fantasy points, putting him right around value. ***
