High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS at DEN ($10,100): Curry bounced back from his dreadful performance against the Jazz, contributing 42.75 fantasy points against the Kings on Friday. He had 54 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Jan. 8. The Nuggets are at home, but rank 24th against shooting guards in their last 15 games. He needs 44.8 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. You can expect him to contribute his usual 45-plus fantasy points in this one. ****

Dennis Smith Jr., DAL at SAC ($6,800): The Kings are on a back-to-back, rank 30th against point guards in their last 15 games, and are going up against a player who has been over value in all but two games since Dec. 29. This should be another strong game for Smith Jr. based on the matchup and his play since the end of December. Unless he ducks De’Aaron Fox, you can expect another 30-plus fantasy points for the Dallas rookie point guard. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs GS ($6,500): Murray is coming off a 46.25 fantasy point effort against the Thunder on Thursday. He’s been over value in six of his last seven. In the game where he missed value, he didn’t start and played just 31 minutes. He’ll start on Saturday, he’ll play more than 31 minutes, and he’ll post another strong game. He had 34.5 fantasy points against the Warriors on Jan. 8 and 33 fantasy points in 26 minutes against them on Dec. 23. Expect him to be over 30 fantasy points once again on Saturday, which would put him easily over value. ****
