High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at MIN ($13,900): The only question for Westbrook is whether he plays or not. He’s already set both triple-double records that were within reach, he’s sealed his historical season, and the Thunder can’t really move in the playoff seeding. With how hard he plays, if I were the Thunder coach I’d give Westbrook the night off. But nothing has been announced yet, and until/unless it is you have to respect that he’s a walking 75 fantasy points per game right now. ****, unless he sits

Ricky Rubio, MIN vs OKC ($7700): Rubio had his worst game in Weeks on Sunday against the Lakers, managing only two points but still dishing 11 assists. The Thunder defense tends to be tough on point guards, but as mentioned above there’s a real chance that the Thunder bench their players. Even if they don’t, Rubio has put up big numbers against elite defense like the Jazz, so he’d still be a solid match-up against the full Thunder squad. ***

Jrue Holiday, NO at LAL ($7400): Holiday is the man on the Pelicans, with both Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins out. Also, the Lakers are terrible on defense. Unless Holiday sits too, he should be a strong threat on Tuesday. ****
