High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (11,000): Westbrook came up big for the Thunder with a big win in Game 4 totaling 59.75 fantasy points on 25 points, 15 assists, and five rebounds.  He has at least 48 fantasy points in each of the four games in this series and has increased his fantasy production in each consecutive game. He and the Thunder can move on to their matchup with the Spurs if they win tonight, so look look for Westbrook to step up and carry his team into the second round with a big game tonight.∗∗∗∗

Chris Paul-Los Angeles Clippers (9,600): CP3 has been huge in the Clippers’ 2-1 series lead with at least 25 points and 43 fantasy points in each of the first three games of the series. He  even turned in 26 points and nine assists in the Clippers’ loss in Game 3 for a total of 49.25 fantasy points. He’ll need to play better defense against Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum than he did in Game 3, but I still like Paul to return a good number if you invest in him at just under 10K. ∗∗∗

Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (8,100): Walker helped the Hornets to their Game 3 win even after they lost Nicolas Batum for the series in Game 2.  Walker finished with 35.75 fantasy points on 17 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and two steals in Game 3. He also had 42 fantasy points in Game 2 after a disappointing 21.75 fantasy points in Game 1.  Walker is going to continue to be asked to do more on offense with Batum out, so look for a big game from Kemba at home tonight even against the Heat who defend opposing PG very well. ∗∗∗∗
