High Salary PG

Kyrie Irving, BOS at NY ($8,700): Irving had 49.5 fantasy points against the Heat on Wednesday. He’s been rather inconsistent this season, hitting value in just 58 percent of games this year. Most of his value is tied to his ability to score, but his assist numbers have crept back up in recent weeks. The Knicks are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Irving hasn’t been great in back-to-back games, but this is a good matchup. ***

Kyle Lowry, TOR at PHI ($8,600): For the third time in five games, Lowry had under 30 fantasy points on Wednesday. The Raptors are playing great basketball, but Lowry has finally hit a wall in terms of fantasy value. He’s deferred to his teammates, taking less shots and focusing on running the offense to keep everyone involved. He can put up big numbers, but that doesn’t appear to be his focus right now. **
