High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs MIA ($9,600): The Heat are ranked first against the fantasy position, but they’re on a back-to-back and the Warriors are the Warriors. Curry is averaging 46.8 FPPG this season and has only scored below 40 fantasy points once this year. That happened in the first game of the season. Since then, his lowest fantasy total is 42.75 points and he’s been over 50 fantasy points three times. He should get 45 points at worst for owners. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at ATL ($8,800): The Celtics dominated the Magic on Sunday night, but Irving had a tough go of it. The Boston point guard only scored 11 points and gave owners 20 fantasy points, by far his lowest numbers of the season. Don’t expect back-to-back struggles for Irving, who faces a Hawks defense ranked 22nd in the league and 21st against the position. ****

D’Angelo Russell, BKN at PHO ($8,200): It’s a toss up between Russell and Dennis Schroder. Schorder is coming off a fantastic performance against Cleveland, giving owners 43.25 points, but Boston’s defense is the exact opposite of Cleveland’s in that it’s good. Russell gets the face a Suns defense that is 26th against the position. He costs $1,100 but he’s much more likely to hit his average of 36.3 FPPG than Schroder. **
