High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC at CHA ($12,200): The Thunder have gone into a slump, but Westbrook’s numbers have not suffered. He’s hit value in four straight and 12 of his last 13. His salary keeps rising and he needs 52.6 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. With the way he’s playing, he’ll likely do it. He’s the one guy on the Thunder that you don’t have to worry about when it comes to putting up huge offensive numbers. ****
John Wall, WAS vs BKN ($10,500): Wall followed up his 62.7 fantasy point game against the Jazz with 55.1 fantasy points against the Magic. The Nets are 27th against the position in their last 15, so Wall should be over 50 fantasy points again given his recent play and the matchup. He’s played in only two back-to-back games and the results were mixed. One game was following an injury, so it’s tough to put much stock into that. Expect Wall to hit value (45.2 fantasy points) at worst but most likely give you 50+ fantasy points. *****
Lonzo Ball, LAL at DAL ($8,500): Ball has hit value in nine of his last ten. The one game he missed value was his first game back from injury when his minutes were down. The Mavericks are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Ball has found his three-point shot in the last month or so and continues to be a reliable rebounder and playmaker. He should be around value once again and I would not be surprised to see him push 40 fantasy points. ****
