High Salary PG

Chris Paul, HOU vs PHO ($9,600): Paul had 56.6 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Friday. He posted 49.6 fantasy points against the Suns on Jan. 12, playing only 27 minutes in that contest. His minutes might be down again in this game as the Rockets should run away with things. He needs 39.7 fantasy points to hit value. I think he’ll reach value, but may not go too far over. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at CHI ($7,300): Bledsoe missed value against the Nets, posting 25.2 fantasy points in that contest. He’s averaging 30 fantasy points in two games against the Bucks this season. That number would put him right on value on Sunday. I expect him to be slightly over that number. He’s reliable enough to hit value. ***

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs PHI ($12,000): The Thunder are on a back-to-back and I don’t know where their head is at following the injury to Andre Roberson. I could see them coming out flat and underperforming big time in this game. But Westbrook should put up solid numbers. Will he get you the 50 fantasy points he needs to reach value? I have my doubts. **

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs LAL ($7,700): Lowry has been a bust in his last two games, failing to crack 25 fantasy points in both contests. He had 46 fantasy points against the Lakers on Oct. 27. The Lakers are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. I think Lowry has a bounce back performance in this one, giving you 35-plus fantasy points. ****
