High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs BOS ($10,100): The Celtics are first against the position in their last 15 games. Curry has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. He had 31 fantasy points against the Celtics on Nov. 16. I highly doubt he’ll be held to just nine points like he was in that contest. The Celtics have struggled in recent games and Curry is playing at home, where he’s missed value just twice this year. He needs 44.9 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. I expect him to show out in the matchup, pushing 50 fantasy points. ****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at GS ($8,400): Irving has been over value in four straight. He had 43 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Clippers. He’ll have Al Horford back, but the Celtics will be without Marcus Smart once again. He had 35.25 fantasy points against the Warriors on Nov. 16, struggling from the field. I know Irving will show up for this game and try to carry his team to victory, even if the rest if his team is lacking. He needs 37.4 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. I think he’ll be over 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs DAL ($6,900): Murray has been over value in three straight. He was a bust on Jan. 16 against the Mavericks, posting 11.25 fantasy points in that contest. The Mavericks are on a back-to-back and rank 29th against the position in their last 15 games. I like the way Murray is playing right now and doubt he will struggled the way he did two weeks ago against Dallas. He needs 30.7 fantasy points to his value on Saturday, I like him to be over that number. ****
