High Salary PG

Kyrie Irving, CLE vs IND ($9000): It was announced about a week ago that Irving was experiencing pain in his surgically repaired left knee. He would sit out the last two games of the season, but not before dropping 45 points and nine assists in 45 minutes of the game before. Presumably, he is healthy enough to play at full strength in Game one against the Pacers, who have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. ***

Chris Paul, LAC vs UTA ($8700): Paul finally got fully healthy and played at full strength over the last few weeks of the season, when he led the Clippers on a late-season charge to capture that fourth seed out West. He scored between 38.3 and 51.1 fantasy points in each of his last eight games, and will be a big threat in the first round against a Jazz team that has been in the middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to point guards in the last 10 games. ****

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs MIL ($8600): Lowry returned from his long injury layoff with a bang, averaging 41.3 fantasy points in his first three games back before playing part-time in the season finale. On Saturday, he faces a Bucks squad that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to point guards in the last 10 games. *****
