High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs WAS ($11,900): After missing value in two straight, Westbrook has been over value in his last two. His rebound and assists numbers were down against the Nets, but I would expect them to be back up in this one. The Wizards are 19th against the position in their last 15 games. Even if the Thunder came out flat, like they tend to do against lesser opponent, Westbrook is still going to get his typical numbers. Especially going against another top point guard like John Wall. He should be around his usual 50 fantasy points. ****

Steph Curry, GS vs MIN ($9,900): Curry bounced back against the Knicks, dropping 48.7 fantasy points in that contest. He’s hit value in 82 percent of games this season. The Timberwolves are on a back-to-back and could be without Jimmy Butler once again. You know what you’re getting from Curry. He’s going to be around value and there’s always a chance he goes off from deep. He’s as consistent as they come and this is a good matchup against a team missing their best defender on a back-to-back. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs NY ($7,500): Murray followed up his 47 fantasy point game against the Suns with 52 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers. The Knicks are 10th against the position in their last 15 games. Murray has been inconsistent this season, hitting value in 52 percent of games this season. He had 27.6 fantasy points against the Knicks on Oct. 30, but that game is rather meaningless given where both teams stand. He’s hot right now and the Knicks are a terrible road team. ****
