High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (11,100): Westbrook still had a double-double even in defeat in Game 2 posting 16 points and 12 assists for 39.75 fantasy points in Game 2. He had a massive 67.5 fantasy points in Game 1, and as the series shifts to OKC he is a great option for Game 3. While passing on either of the top-line PG’s is tough, I’d go with Westbrook over Curry in Game 3 if forced to choose just one megastar PG..∗∗∗∗

Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors (10,700): Curry dinged his elbow chasing a loose ball in Game 2, but he’ll have three days off before he plays Sunday, and he managed to play through the injury well in Game 2 carrying Golden State to a win with 28 points including a third-quarter outburst that put the game out of reach for the Thunder.  Curry didn’t have many non-scoring stats, though, so he totaled just 38 fantasy points. He doesn’t have quite the broad statistical production atet Westbrook offers, so I’d place him just behind Russ in my PG rankings for tonight’s competition. ∗∗∗

Kyrie Irving-Cleveland Cavaliers (8,200): Irving looked really good in Game 1 against Kyle Lowry who continues to struggle in the playoffs. Irving went off for 27 points to lead the Cavs in scoring while adding five assists and totaling an impressive 44.5 fantasy points. Irving has at least 32 fantasy points in each of the Cavs nine playoff games and has over 36 in four of his last six.  If you roll with Curry and/or Westbrook, Irving is the other PG to consider and costs almost 3K less of your salary cap.∗∗
