High Salary PG

John Wall, WAS vs BOS ($9,200): The Wizards would desperately love to get out of eighth and into seventh and into a first round matchup with these Celtics. That should lead to big minutes for the Washington starters as they look for a victory that would benefit them in multiple ways. Wall is coming off a 56.8 fantasy point performance against the Cavaliers last Thursday. He’s plenty rested, should play big minutes, and Washington has a lot to play for while the Celtics have nothing to play for. Expect him to be over 40 fantasy points in this one. *****

Tyler Ulis, PHO at DAL ($6,900): Ulis missed value against the Warriors on Sunday, finishing with 28.4 fantasy points. It was his first value miss since joining the starting lineup. He needs 29.7 fantasy points to reach value against the Mavericks on Tuesday. Expect a bounce back performance against Dallas given the matchup. Neither team has anything to play for, but Ulis is a guy making the most of his late season opportunities and wants to showcase himself heading into next season. ****

Ricky Rubio, UTA vs GS ($6,800): Rubio only played the first half of Sunday’s game against the Lakers, but still managed 20.6 fantasy points in 18 minutes. Hopefully the extra rest has him feeling more like himself against the Warriors. The hamstring injury is a concern, but if he plays his usual amount of minutes, he’s a better option than Chris Paul or Terry Rozier. You may feel more comfortable grabbing a guy who will get guaranteed minutes, although Paul and Rozier may not play much given the circumstances. And if Rubio plays 25-plus minutes, he’ll get at least 30 fantasy points. ***
