High Salary PG

Chris Paul, HOU at PHO ($8,900): Paul enters the lineup for the first time since the first game of the season. How he fits with a Rockets team that got along just fine in his absence remains to be seen, but the Suns are the perfect opposition in his first game back. Paul will probably sit back a bit, but it’ll be nearly impossible for him not to collect at least 40 fantasy points. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS vs GS ($8,300): Your other option here is Steph Curry, but the matchup and money favors Irving. The Boston point guard had 37.1 fantasy points in his return against the Nets, which is in line with his season average. He’s proven he can jump over 40 fantasy points and given the magnitude of this game, I think Kyrie tries to take over offensively at various stretches. ***

High Value PG

Mike James, PHO vs HOU ($4,700): You may want to wait and see who is starting before deciding on James or Tyler Ulis. If James is coming off the bench again and only sees 16-18 minutes, he’s not worth the play despite being a better player than Ulis this year. **

Terry Rozier, BOS vs GS ($4,400): Rozier’s numbers tanked against Brooklyn as he only gave owners 2.4 fantasy points. He won’t be that bad again and is a decent play behind Irving. The Celtics will definitely need him to be much better if they hope to hang with the Warriors. ***
