High Salary PG

Eric Bledsoe, MIL vs BKN ($7,900): The Nets are 22nd against point guards in their last 15 games. After hitting value in four straight, Bledsoe was a big miss on Tuesday, posting just 24.25 fantasy points on Tuesday. He needs 37.1 fantasy points to hit value on Thursday. The matchup is much better in this one and he should have a bounce back performance where he’s over 40 fantasy points. ****

Ricky Rubio, UTA vs LAC ($7,000): Rubio has been on fire lately, going 10-plus fantasy points over value in four of his last five games. He needs 32.9 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Rubio has upped his game as he’s searching for his first playoff appearance in his career. The Clippers are 24th against point guards in their last 15 games. Expect another big game for Rubio on Thursday. *****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs MIN ($6,300): The Timberwolves are 26th against point guards in their last 15 games. Murray has been over value in his last two, including a 35 fantasy point effort against the Pacers on Tuesday. He’s played great in recent weeks, upping his game alongside Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic. The matchup is great, his recent play has been great, and he should be great on Thursday, pushing 40 fantasy points. ****
