High Salary PG

Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (9,600): Lillard has scored at least 27 points in four straight games and has dished out double-digit assists in three of those contests. He has over 49 fantasy points in each of those three games including a season-high 62.9 fantasy points in Cleveland when he had 40-7-11 (points-rebounds-assists). Tonight, he’s in a tough matchup with Miami, but Lillard has quietly been having an outstanding season for Portland and is a good way to spend a lot of money at PG tonight.

Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors (9,500): Curry has over 40 fantasy points in four of his last five and has scored at least 24 points in each of those five games. In his two previous games this season against the Suns he had 28-1-3 for 32.7 fantasy points and 30-6-6 for 47.2 fantasy points. He and the Warriors should be motivated to get Thursday’s loss out of their mind and will take it out on their division-rival Suns who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG. The game could be a blowout, but Curry will have a good change to get his at home against Phoenix tonight.

Kyle Lowry-Toronto Raptors (8,400): Lowry gets an even better matchup tonight against the Hawks who are giving up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing PG. Last night, Lowry lit up the Lakers for 24-4-7 and 37.3 fantasy points giving him at least that many in eight of his last ten. He should be able to get to 40 fantasy points pretty easily tonight in a very favorable matchup at home in “The North.”

Goran Dragic-Miami Heat (7,100): The injury-decimated Heat have somehow found ways to win  their first two games of their road trip in Denver and Utah. Dragic’s return has been one of the keys to their recent success. In his three games back, Dragic has posted 55.9 fantasy points, 32.1 fantasy points, and 38.8 fantasy points. He’s providing most of the Heat offense and has scored 27 points twice in those three contests. He’ll have to rise to the occasion again tonight against the up-tempo Blazers which should allow for high usage rate and a good number of fantasy points tonight.
