High Salary PG

James Harden, HOU vs TOR ($12,300): No one is playing at the level Harden is playing at right now. He’s averaging 56.8 FPPG, but has been above that number in four straight games. That includes back-to-back 80+ fantasy point games last week. The Raptors have the 16th ranked defense, which only increases what Harden might do on Tuesday. A points-assists double-double seems certain. *****

Kylie Lowry, TOR at HOU ($7,700): Lowry has been consistent in the last week. Throwing out the game against Washington where he was ejected, he’s been above his 31.5 FPPG average in his last four games. The Rockets have the eighth ranked defense and have bottled up recent point guards. Lowry will likely find a way to get his 30 fantasy points, but that’s about it. ***

Kyrie Irving, BOS at BKN ($8,200): Even though Irving is listed as OUT at the time of this writing, the expectation is that he’ll play. I would wait for confirmation before adding him to your lineup. Assuming he does play, don’t be surprised to see him on a minor minutes restriction. A game against the Nets, who will be without D’Angelo Russell, shouldn’t be competitive, the Celtics played well without him, and there’s no reason to things when it comes to facial injuries. *****

High Value PG

Terry Rozier, BOS at BKN ($5,300): Rozier filled in admirably for Kyrie Irving against the Raptors, giving owners 31 fantasy points. He’s been over 30 fantasy point in each of the last two games in Irving’s absence. The Nets have the 22nd ranked defense and Rozier has proven that he can run the Celtics offense to perfection. Irving’s return will decrease his usage, but he’s a strong play for the price. *****

Dejounte Murray, SA at DAL ($4,600): Murray has seen inconsistent minutes in his last few fames, but his 17 points, five assist, and four rebound effort in 25 minutes against Chicago likely earned him extra playing time. The Mavericks haven’t been able to stop anyone all season and Murray should find plenty of success on Tuesday. ****
