High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs NO ($9,600): In two games without Kevin Durant, Curry has 64.7 and 51.4 fantasy points. Durant is doubtful on Saturday, meaning Curry will be able to go nuclear once again. The Pelicans haven’t defended the three well all season, which is bad news when you’re playing the Warriors, especially with Curry having the green light on every possession without Durant. *****

Chris Paul, HOU vs NY ($8,800): The more minutes Paul sees, the better he’s playing. He scores a lot without taking many shots, he’s getting more comfortable playing alongside James Harden, and his rebounding numbers will increase as he starts to trust his legs a bit more following the injury. He had 51.4 fantasy points against the Nuggets and should be a near lock for 40+ moving forward as his minutes increase and he gets more comfortable alongside Harden and in the Houston offense. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at IND ($8,300): The Pacers defense has looked much better over the last few weeks, but Irving presents a tough matchup for them. Irving is averaging 44.7 FPPG in his last four, mainly thanks to his scoring. He gets a few rebounds and assists per game but does most of his damage by putting the basket through the hoop. Look for him to be aggressive and attack a Pacers defense that has shown weakness throughout the season. ****
