High Salary PG

Jeff Teague, MIN at LAL ($7,100): Teague had 25.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Thursday. He’s missed value in three straight and five of his last six. The Lakers are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Teague has done well against the Lakers this season, going over 30 fantasy points in both games. It’s a good matchup on paper, but recent play isn’t exactly encouraging. But there’s not much encouraging about the recent play of Kemba Walker and Kyle Lowry either. ***

Goran Dragic, MIA at NY ($6,900): Dragic had 44.5 fantasy points against the Hawks on Tuesday. He rested on Wednesday in the rematch, but should be back in the lineup on Friday. He hasn’t been great against the Knicks this season, but on paper it’s a good matchup. And there’s just not a lot to like from the high salary points guards with guys slumping and too many variables working against others. Dragic will at least see consistent playing time and should be around value in this one. ***

Terry Rozier, BOS vs CHI ($6,800): Rozier was well under value against the Raptors on Wednesday, finishing with 21.3 fantasy points in that game. He’s been up-and-down recently, but with the announcement that Kyrie Irving is done until next season, this a team that won’t be dejected. They’ll come out with more fire, which is bad news for the Bulls. He needs 30.1 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. Proceed with caution and it’s possible that he doesn’t see enough minutes to hit that number. ***
