High Salary PG

Eric Bledsoe, MIL vs BKN ($8,200): The Nets are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Bledsoe is coming off a down performance against the Celtics on Tuesday, finishing with just 22.2 fantasy points. There is a great chance he bounces back on Thursday given the matchup. He had been playing great prior to the Celtics game, going over value in five straight. He needs 36.4 fantasy points to hit value and should be over 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Ricky Rubio, UTA vs LAC ($7,900): Rubio is doing everything he can to lift the Jazz into the playoffs and it’s working. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in three straight and five of his last six. The Clippers are 17th against the position in their last 15 games. He’s shooting the ball very well from the field, collecting rebounds, and picking up his usual number of assists. Expect another well-rounded performance on Thursday. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs MIN ($7,900): Murray has been over value in his last two games, His salary has gone up to where he needs 35 fantasy points to hit value on Thursday. Given the matchup, that should be no problem. The Timberwolves 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Murray has benefitted from the strong play of Paul Millsap and Nikola Jokic, making a great third option. He’ll push 40 fantasy points on Thursday. ****
