High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR at LAC ($9,700): Lillard had 53.75 fantasy points against the Pistons on Saturday. The back-to-back isn’t a concern as he’s been over value in his last three back-to-back games and the Clippers have a below average defense. Lillard should continue his post-break hot streak, going over 45 fantasy points. *****

Terry Rozier, BOS at NO ($7,600): It doesn’t seem likely that Kyrie Irving plays on Sunday, but in case he does, Rozier is a risk at this salary. Irving would be a risk as well due to a possible minutes restriction. At least you know Chris Paul is going to get big minutes and produce, so he might be the option if Irving ends up playing. But if Irving doesn’t play, Rozier will have a big game against a Pelicans team that can’t guard the perimeter and are on a back-to-back. ****

High Value PG

Jeff Teague, MIN vs HOU ($5,900): Teague had 35 fantasy points against the Spurs on Saturday. To only Tom Thibodeau’s surprise, Derrick Rose hasn’t produced as the backup point guard and has probably upped the value of Teague in the process. He needs 26.6 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. The matchup is tough, but he’s a reliable play who could be over 30 fantasy points. ****

Rajon Rondo, NO vs BOS ($5,500): Rondo was able to rest on Saturday while his teammates will be playing their second game in as many nights. That should give him an extra jump in his step. And for an extra extra jump, he’s playing the Celtics. Rondo always brings his best in this matchup and Sunday should be no different. Expect him over value. ***
