High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at MEM ($13,600): Westbrook had his worst outing in weeks on Tuesday, posting “only” a mortal 12 point, 13 rebound, 13 assist triple-double for 48.1 fantasy points against the Bucks. He entered that game having scored between 51.2 and 88.1 fantasy points in his previous six games, with at least 60 fantasy points in five of those games. On Wednesday, he faces a tough Grizzlies defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ***

Stephen Curry, GS at PHO ($10,000): Curry has scored between 40.5 and 62.4 fantasy points in eight straight games. On Wednesday he faces an overmatched Suns team, but the Warriors are sitting Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala which could mean that Curry has to carry closer to his normal share of weight. The Suns have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ****

Kyrie Irving, CLE at BOS ($8600): Irving has scored between 40.5 and 42.8 fantasy points in his last three games, after dipping to 11.6 and 26.9 fantasy points in the two games before that. On Wednesday, he faces a Celtics squad that the Cavs are battling with in the standings, and that he has torched for 27.7 points, 6.3 assists, 3.7 boards and 1.3 steals in three games this season. ****

Isaiah Thomas, BOS vs CLE ($8500): Thomas has averaged 38.9 fantasy points, with a min of 30.9 and a max of 50.1 in his last seven games since his last absence. On Wednesday, he has a rivalry game with heavy playoff seeding implications against a Cavs squad that he’s shredded for 30.7 points, 6.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in three games this season. *****
