High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs TOR ($11,200): Westbrook has been at 60 fantasy points or over in his last three games and four of his last six. After a very slow start, he’s looking more and more like the fantasy player that he was throughout last season. The Raptors are ninth against the position in their last 15 games, but that matters little when it comes to Westbrook. He’s the best guard in the league when it comes to putting up offensive numbers. He’s a triple-double threat every single night and nearly a guaranteed double-double. The Raptors are on a back-to-back and heavy legs are death against Westbrook. *****

John Wall, WAS at ATL ($8,900): Wall returned to his normal 35+ minutes and delivered 51.25 fantasy points on Christmas. He should have an even easier time against the Hawks, who rank 18th against the position in their last 15 games. Wall looked a lot more confident and comfortable in his shot against the Celtics and, as always, set-up teammates for good looks and easy buckets. He had 31.75 fantasy points in 24 minutes against the Hawks on Nov. 11. As long as this one stays close, Wall will have 40+ fantasy points. ****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at CHA ($8,500): Irving turned in a disappointing 32.5 fantasy points on Christmas against the Wizards. His shot wasn’t falling in that game, but he’s too good of a scorer to think that will happen again. His rebounding and assist numbers have remained consistent, which is a good sign. The last time the Celtics played the Hornets, Irving was out after just two minutes following the facial injury that put him in a mask for a couple of weeks. The Hornets are 25th against the position in their lasting 15 games. ****
