High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR vs GS ($9,700): There are few players in the league playing at the level of Lillard right now. He’s been over value in five of his last six and is carrying the Trail Blazers into a potential third seed out West. The Warriors are on a back-to-back, will likely be without Steph Curry, and rank 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Oh yeah, Lillard is averaging 57.2 fantasy points in two games against the Warriors this season. It’ll be Dame Time on Friday. *****

Lonzo Ball, LAL at DEN ($7,500): After turning in 20.4 fantasy points against the Blazers, Ball bounced back with 36.7 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Denver ranks 27th against the position in their last 15 games. His assist and rebounding numbers were still down against the Magic, but he’s making up that value with his scoring and defense. The matchup is good and Ball has been solid ever since his early season clump. ****

Kris Dunn, CHI at DET ($7,400): The Pistons are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Dunn had 44.1 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. He’s been up-and-down in recent contests and is coming off an up game, so if you believe in the trend, he’ll be down on Friday. This matchup is too good to pass up on, despite his trend. He had 55.6 fantasy points against the Pistons on Jan. 13. Expect another big game for the Bulls point guard on Friday. ****
