High Salary PG

Ricky Rubio ($7,400): Rubio has been fantastic in this series, going 14-plus fantasy points in all three games. Russell Westbrook vows to shut him down in Game 4, but that’s going to be easier said than done. Even if Rubio doesn’t shoot the way he’s shot the last two games, he continuities with rebounding and passing. He’ll push 40 fantasy points in Game 4. ****

Jeff Teague ($7,200): Teague posted 40.6 fantasy points in Game 3. He’s played well against the Rockets all season. Granted, he was a bust in Game 2, but just about everyone on the Timberwolves was a bust in Game 2. Teague is going to get you points and assists, pushing his fantasy numbers to over 30. ****

High Value PG

Derrick Rose ($3,800): Not much going on underneath the high salary guys. Rose has been over 20 fantasy points in two of three games in this series, which is something. He’s going to play minutes and Minnesota still runs enough offense through him to where he can be a contributing player. *

Raymond Felton ($3,500): Much like Rose, Felton gets enough playing time and opportunities to contribute fantasy numbers. He had 24.2 fantasy points in Game 3. Don’t expect those same numbers in Game 4, but he gets his shots and plays enough to be a punt option. *
