High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC at DAL ($12,900): Westbrook popped for 66.7 fantasy points on Sunday in his showdown against James Harden and the Rockets, his best game in almost two weeks. His price tag for Monday is under $13k, a nod to his stellar but not video game numbers last week. On Monday he faces a Mavs team that held him to “only” 48.7 fantasy points the last time they met, but that have slid a bit to allow the 12th-fewest fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ***
Kyrie Irving, CLE at SA ($9100): Irving has played in 10 of the last 12 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 40.1 fantasy points with a min of 30.8 and a max of 49.9. He’s been very consistent, low-variance in his production of late. On Monday, he faces a Spurs defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ***
Elfrid Payton, ORL at TOR ($7100): Payton notched another triple-double in his last outing, his first since March 13 but his fourth in the month of March. All told, Payton has averaged 37.8 fantasy points, with a min of 24.6 and a max of 65.8 in his last 10 games. His Monday opponents, the Raptors, have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ****
