High Salary PG

Stephen Curry (9,000): Fans tend to forget about just how good Stephen Curry can be this season. He still dropped 58.5 fantasy points on Friday night, putting up 30 points, four rebounds and six assists against Memphis. Sacramento is another up-tempo team, which means this one could be a high-scoring affair that will give Curry plenty of chances to shine. ***

Kyrie Irving (8,200): It’s been a career year for Kyrie, who continues to show off some ridiculous fantasy upside. He’s put up over 60 fantasy points in three of his last six games while never scoring fewer than 35. Phoenix is a fast-paced team with a weak defensive backcourt, making Irving a great play for tonight’s slate. *****

Mike Conley (6,700): Conley is feeling himself in his past two games, posting two straight double-doubles with 54 and 44.25 fantasy points scored respectively. The Utah Jazz are a tough defensive unit, but Conley is the kind of fantasy option who doesn’t have to rely on big scoring numbers to have an impact. **
