High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs LAC ($10,800): The return of Kevin Durant, currently listed a probable, may cut into Curry’s value a bit, but he should still be good for 50 fantasy points. He had 66 fantasy points in 30 minutes against the Clippers on Saturday and has hit value in 86 percent of games this season. He’s as reliable as they come thanks to his three-point shooting and the Warriors system. He’ll hit value, although Durant’s return and his higher salary makes it less likely that he’ll be well over. ****

Chris Paul, HOU vs POR ($9,700): Paul has been over 50 fantasy points in three of his last five. The Trail Blazers are sixth against point guards in their last 15 games, but Paul is starting to grow more comfortable in the Rockets offense and the Blazers are on a back-to-back. His rebounding numbers have held strong and he’s always going to be around 20 points and 10 assists. His turnovers are up in recent games, which is the only thing concerning about his play right now. He’ll likely be around the same total as Curry, on a much cheaper salary. *****

Kemba Walker, CHA vs DAL ($7,900): Walker has hit value in seven straight and gets a favorable matchup on Wednesday. The Mavericks are 21st against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. After their long west coast trip, the Hornets should find extra comfort at home. The Mavericks have been a bad road team all season and the Hornets, by and large, play better at home. Expect another 40+ fantasy point night for the Charlotte guard. *****
