High Salary PG

Victor Oladipo, IND at CHA ($9,200): Oladipo played only 21 minutes against the Raptors, finishing with 20.25 fantasy points. The Pacers are pretty much locked into the fifth seed, giving them almost nothing to play for. Because of that, his minutes might be down again. The matchup is good, but there are too many variables in this one to trust him. **

Kemba Walker, CHA vs IND ($8,300): Whatever is happening with Walker right now, it’s not good. His highest fantasy points total in his last four games in 22.25. He needs 38.2 fantasy points to be at value on Sunday. His minutes are down, the Hornets have nothing to play for, and it’s just not a good situation for him or the team right now. We know what he’s capable of, but until he shows it, he’s a gigantic risk. **

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs ORL ($7,500): Lowry has missed value in six straight games. And he’s played less than 30 minutes in his last two games. The Raptors have nothing to play for right now and will likely lighten his workload heading into the playoffs. Against Orlando, the bench should be enough to get it done. ***

Tyler Ulis, PHO vs GSW ($6,800): Ulis continues to impress late in the season. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in six straight. The Warriors are 26th against point guards in their last 15 games, on a back-to-back, and are locked into the two seed. The Suns may not win, but Ulis will have another strong game. ****
