High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs UTA ($11,400): Westbrook found his shot against Denver, which could be bad news for the Jazz. He had 76 fantasy points against the Jazz on Dec. 5. With Rudy Robert out and Derrick Favors questionable, Westbrook should find more room and less arms to deal with in the paint. He puts up numbers in every category and his turnovers have been surprisingly low by his standards this month. Another 60 fantasy point game should come easy to the Thunder guard. ****

Kyle Lowry, TOR at CHA ($8,200): After a great end to November and start to December, Lowry has missed value in three of his last four. He had 55.75 fantasy points against the Hornets on Nov. 29. He’s still pick up assists, but his rebounds and points are down. I’m not too worried about him given his 33.5 percent usage rate in his last three and the fact that the Hornets rank 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Lowry is better on the road thanks in large part to DeMar DeRozan’s struggles away from Toronto. ****

Victor Oladipo, IND at ATL ($9,200): Oladipo has been one of the most reliable fantasy players this season, proving that his hot start was no fluke. He’s hit value in 70 percent of contests this season. His assist numbers has gone down in his last three games, but I’m not too concerned about that given that he still scores and rebounds at a high-level. His assist numbers should be back up against the Hawks given their 28th ranked defense. *****
