High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,600): Westbrook came up big for the Thunder with a big win in Game 4 totaling 55.5 fantasy points on 25 points, 15 assists, and five rebounds.  He has at least 43 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 (9,800): CP3 has been huge in the Clippers’ 2-1 series lead with at least 25 points and 41 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 47.1 fantasy points. He’ll need to play better defense against Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, but he continues to be a good option even at this price point. ∗∗∗

Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (8,000): Walker helped the Hornets to their Game 3 win even after they lost Nicolas Batum for the series in Game 2.  Walker finished with 35.1 fantasy points on 17 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and two steals in Game 3. He also had 40.3 fantasy points in Game 2 after a disappointing 19.7 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. ∗∗∗∗

Raymond Felton-Dallas Mavericks (6,000): Felton has over 30 fantasy points in each of the last three games against Russell Westbrook and has been the most consistent offensive option for Dallas.  Felton had a double-double in Game 4 with 19 points and 11 assists on his way to 38.1 fantasy points and should get plenty of run again in Game 5 since Deron Williams is now out for the season. ∗∗∗∗∗
