High Salary PG

Kemba Walker, CHA vs MEM ($8,600): Both teams are on a back-to-back, so that shouldn’t matter too much. The Hornets are at home, which benefits them. If Nicolas Batum is out once again, it should be the backcourt duo of Walker and Jeremy Lamb, who have played well next to each other for years now. He needs 37.1 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. It’s tough to know the mindset of these teams going nowhere late in season, which is always a concern in these games. But assuming Walker shows up ready to take care of business, he should be over 40 fantasy points. ****

Dennis Schroder, ATL at SAC ($7,300): Schroder had 55.5 fantasy points against the Jazz on Tuesday. As mentioned in the Walker blurb, it’s tough to know how to gauge a battle of two non-playoff teams as coaches try to different things heading into next season and playing time can be a bit weird. Assuming Schroder plays over 30 minutes, he should get you the 31.5 fantasy points he needs to reach value. The matchup is certainly a good one. ****

Lonzo Ball, LAL at NO ($7,100): Ball produced just 20.4 fantasy points against the Pacers on Monday. The Lakers have had a couple of days off now while the Pelicans are playing their third game in as many nights due to a rescheduling. Because of that, get ready to read a lot about the Lakers today. The Pelicans are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. The matchup is good and if the Pelicans are as tired as many expect them to be, this could be a very big night for multiple Lakers players. ****
