High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR at ORL ($9,500): Lillard struggled mightily against the Heat, contributing just 29.6 fantasy points. I expect him to bounce back against the Magic given that they are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Lillard should not struggle with his shot as much, scoring 25+ points to go along with his usual rebounding and assist numbers. He’s always a threat to have a monster game and this could be one where he’s nicely above value. ****

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs BKN ($8,300): After a fantasy end to November and start to December, Lowry has regressed in his last two games. He’s had 23.1 and 27.9 fantasy points in his last two, but it’s tough to see him struggling at home against a Nets team that are on a back-to-back. It helps that the Nets are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. The points and assists should be there, but he needs to start rebounding like he was during his hot stretch. ****

Russell Westbrook, OKC at PHI ($10,900): Westbrook has hit value in his last three despite his shooting struggles. He always finds a way to chip in with rebounds and assists, even when he’s struggling from the field. The Sixers are eighth against the position in their last 15 games. Westbrook’s shooting shows no signs of returning to form, but he always gets his numbers. He should be around his usual 50 fantasy points no matter how the offense looks. *****
