High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,300): Westbrook may not get his full complement of minutes, but you know he’ll be fired up to take on Kobe for the final time. He only played 34 minutes against the Kings on Saturday but still posted a solid 24 points and ten assists for a total of 45.25 fantasy points. He has at least 49 fantasy points in five of his last seven games, and he’s in a great matchup against the Lakers who have given up more fantasy points to opposing PG than any other team in the NBA.  Westbrook has averaged 24 points, 8.7 assists, and seven rebounds against LA this season but only averaged 30.7 minutes per game in those three contests.  His only risk is his playing time, but he has the potential to put on quite a show as the Thunder close out their home schedule for the regular season before heading to San Antonio tomorrow in their final game before the playoffs. ∗∗

Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (7,600): IT4 didn’t have a great game on Saturday against the Hawks scoring just 16 points to go with six assists and two steals for 3o fantasy points. He has been held under 40 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games, but he should be ready to bounce back in a big game against Kemba Walker and the Hornets tonight.  Thomas and the Celtics are still playing for home court advantage, so expect the usual Boston rotation tonight at TD Garden.∗∗∗

Darren Collison-Sacramento Kings (6,100): Rajon Rondo has sat out the last two games for the Kings and could be done for the season.  It’s very unlikely that he plays tonight son the road against the Suns which leaves a tasty matchup for Collison against the team that has allowed the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PG. Collison has played at least 37 minutes in each of his last three games and has at least 28 fantasy points in each of his last seven.  He should be primed to produce a good stat line tonight coming off his 47.25-fantasy-point game agains the Thunder on Friday when he scored 27 points to go with eight assists, five rebounds and a steal.∗∗∗∗
