High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (12,200): It’s the big Durant-Westbrok showdown we’ve all been waiting for as Durant’s former team the Thunder heads to Golden State to take on the Warriors. Westbrook is coming off his least impressive game of the season last night when he had 35 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals in the Thunder win over the Clippers but also turned the ball over ten times and had a season-low 45.7 fantasy points.

That siad, even on the second night of a back-to-back you have to think Russ will be fired up to tear the Warriors up and will be as aggressive as humanly possible in tonight’s game. He’s obviously a crazy-expensive play at over 12K but he has averaged over 62 fantasy points per contest through his first four games and will look to keep his team undefeated tonight.∗∗∗∗

Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (8,000): With Avery Bradley banged up and Al Horford out with a concussion, the Celtics are still 3-1 coming into Cleveland tonight in large part due to consistent  and excellent play from IT4. Thomas has scored 23, 24, or 25 points to go with solid rebounds, assists, and steals. He has at least 33 fantasy points in every game this season and had his first double-double last night against the Bulls with 23 points and ten assist on his way to 45.4 fantasy points. This is the second night of a back-to-back, but Thomas will still carry the weight of the Boston offense as they try to make a statement by playing Cleveland tough tonight at the Q.∗∗∗∗

Elfrid Payton-Orlando Magic (6,200): Payton and the Magic get a good matchup tonight against the Kings who are still without Darren Collison who is serving his suspension. Payton has been solid all year with at least ten points and at least five assists in every contest. He’s coming off his best game of the season when he posted a double-double of 18 points and ten assists against the Sixers on Tuesday. He finished that contest with 40.6 fantasy points and is in a similarly favorable situation tonight as he and the Magic settle into new coach Frank Vogel’s system.∗∗∗∗
