High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at BKN ($12,000): Westbrook has been at value or better in seven of his last eight games. His salary has jumped to $12,000 for the first time this season, which means he needs 55.5 fantasy points to hit value. Given that you get points for triple-doubles and double-doubles in DraftKings, there is still plenty of reason to think he hits value. He’s been at 65+ points in five of his last eight. The Nets are 22nd against the position in their last 15. ****

Chris Paul, HOU at UTA ($7,600): Paul’s salary continues to drop as he plays right around value, but it’s not unreasonable to expect him to figure it out with Harden sooner rather than later. He hasn’t quite put it all together, but he’s still a guy who puts up numbers in every category. The Jazz are fifth against the position in their last 15, but the Rockets operate on a different level than everyone offensively. ***

Donovan Mitchell, UTA vs HOU ($7,200): The Rockets are second against the position in their last 15 games, but Mitchell is hot right now and has put Utah on his back. He would have had four straight games of being at 35+ fantasy points if not for a route against Washington. He’s hit 3+ threes in his last four and chips in with assists. It’s a tough matchup, but Mitchell had 29 fantasy point in 25 minutes a month ago against Houston. ***
