High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,600): Westbrook and the Thunder play for the second night in a row and the third time in four nights as they take on the Pacers. Westbrook shouldn’t be too fatigued though since he has played under 35 minutes in three straight games since they all turned into blowouts. He was able to stay productive in his limited time, though, with a pair of triple-doubles against the Blazers and Sixers and over 40 fantasy points in each of his last three. He had 54 fantasy points last night Philadelphia on 20 points, 15 rebounds, and ten assists in his 32 minutes. He’ll need to return a big number to be worth 10K, but he’s been playing well enough lately to deliver if the game tonight against the Pacers is a close one.∗∗∗

John Wall-Washington Wizards (9,900): Speaking of triple-double threats, Wall has posted back-to-back triple doubles against the Bulls and 76ers. He had 59 fantasy points against Chicago on 29 points, 12 assists, and ten rebounds before following it up with 47.6 fantasy points against the Sixers with 16 points, 14 assists, and 13 rebounds. He had big turnovers in both those games, but he has still been able to produce 40+ fantasy points in six of his last seven games including those last two. He averaged 26.5 points, 10.5 assists, a steal, and a block in his two games against the Knicks earlier this season, and should be able to produce another good stat line tonight. ∗∗∗

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (6,900): Dragic has been rolling since the All Star break and has stepped into a much bigger role in the Miami attack with Chris Bosh sidelined. Dragic has averaged 17.9 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in his 15 games since the break and has at least 35 fantasy points in six of his last ten contests. He will take on a Cavs team that Victor Oladipo destroyed last night even though the Magic eventually lost which just means that he and D-Wade should have space to work on the perimeter. The Heat haven’ played since Thursday, so Dragic should be fresh and ready to go against the Cavs in Miami tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Shelvin Mack-Utah Jazz (6,200): When Mack joined the Jazz his FanDuel salary was just 3,500 but his salary has risen in his new role and he has been even more active lately with Gordon Hayward ailing. Mack has at least 31 fantasy points in four straight contests and posted double-doubles in each of his last two games while Hayward has been out. Mack will be in a good place to produce again tonight against the Bulls who have given up the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG on the season and the third-most in their last five games. Even though he isn’t the value he was when his price was so low, Mack is still a good play tonight especially if the offense runs through him again while Hayward sidelined. With Hayward-∗∗ No Hayward-∗∗∗∗
