High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at WAS ($11,700): Westbrook has been over 70 fantasy points in his last two games. He had 64 fantasy points against the Wizards a week ago. He likely won’t be quite as angry on Tuesday knowing that he wasn’t the last pick on Team LeBron and that John Wall wasn’t picked ahead of him. Wall won’t play, which means Westbrook should have an easier time on both ends of the court. He’s going to put up his usual numbers, and while 70 fantasy points may not happen, he should get you at least 55 fantasy points. *****

Steph Curry, GS at UTA ($10,500): Curry is listed as probable heading into Tuesday’s game. Typically, that means he’ll be able to play. But there’s a chance that the Warriors hold him out, not because it’s anything serious, but because they like to rest their guys on the basis of injuries. Assuming he plays, you know he’s going to put up usual strong performance. He needs 46.6 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He should have no issue achieving 50-plus fantasy points in this contest. If he can’t play, look towards Damian Lillard, who I do like given the matchup, but didn’t include on this list. ****

Jrue Holiday, NO vs SAC ($8,300): Holiday had 48.75 fantasy points against the Clippers on Sunday. It was the first game without Cousins and, as expected, Holiday made the most of his increased opportunities. He’s averaging 32.6 fantasy points in two games against the Kings this season. That number would put him under value on Tuesday, but I expect him to play above that average on Tuesday. Holiday has been a strong play all season, hitting value in 76 percent of games. He should be nicely over value once again in this one. *****
