High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs NO ($9,600): If Kevin Durant misses his second straight game, Curry will once again be relied upon to carry the offensive load. He had 45.3 fantasy points in an early season game against the Pelicans. The Pelicans are tough inside, but don’t defend the 3-point line very well. Curry will get plenty of looks from deep and it’s foolish to bet against him at this point in his career. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at IND ($8,300): The Pacers defense has been much better as of late. They’ve held opponents to 104 points or less in four straight games. But the best point guard they’ve faced in the four game stretch was Kyle Lowry, and he killed them for 57 fantasy points. Irving doesn’t get assists and rebounds the way Lowry does, but he gets points much easier. He remains the best scoring option on the Celtics and will get buckets in this one. ****

Kyle Lowry, TOR at ATL ($7,700): There’s no reason to bet against Lowry right now. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in four of his last five as he continues to do it all for the Raptors. The Hawks are a poor defensive team and the Raptors will be desperate after two straight losses. Lowry will get his points, rebounds and assists in this one. *****
