High Salary PG

Kyrie Irving, BOS at DEN ($8,800): Irving has been over value in five straight. He had 51.25 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Dec. 13. Denver is a better team at home than they are on the road, but Irving should have no trouble picking up points in this one. He has to take on a bigger offensive role with Marcus Smart out of the lineup. He needs 38.8 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. I expect him to be over 40 fantasy points on Monday. ****

Tyreke Evans, MEM vs PHO ($8,200): Evans has missed the last couple of games due to an illness, but it sounds like he’ll be available to play on Monday. Obviously, check his status before making any decisions. Assuming he can play, he’s walking into a great matchup. The Suns are on a back-to-back and have not played great in recent contests. Even if games where they have been competitive, they’ve still given up a lot of points. Evans needs 36.2 fantasy points to hit value. He’s had 43-plus fantasy points in both games against the Suns this season. He should be around that number once again. ****

Kemba Walker, CHA at IND ($8,000): Walker has been over value in seven straight. The Pacers are fourth against point guards in their last 15 games, but Walker is on a roll right now and is going it all on the Charlotte perimeter. He’s putting up big scoring numbers to go along with solid rebounding and assist numbers. His turnovers were down against the Heat, which is a good sign for his value moving forward. I like him to push 40 fantasy points once again on Monday. ****
