High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS at DEN ($10,000): Curry was back around value on Friday, posting 41 fantasy points against the Kings. The Nuggets are a better team at home, but their defense is still worrying. They rank 28th against the position in their last 15 games. He had 50.3 fantasy points against Denver on Jan. 8. This one should be a high scoring affair and if that’s the case, you know Curry will do his part in contributing. He’s been a great play all season and that doesn’t change on Saturday. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN vs GS ($6,800): Murray ahs been over value in three straight, including his 43.1 fantasy point effort against the Thunder on Thursday. He posted 33.4 fantasy points against the Warriors on Jan. 8 and 32.7 fantasy points against them on Dec. 23. The Nuggets offense is much better at home and the Warriors are not only on a back-to-back, but are going through a defensive phase where they was less than 100 percent engaged. All of that points to another big game for Murray on Saturday. ****

Dennis Smith Jr., DAL at SAC ($6,800): The Kings are 23rd against the position and on a back-to-back. Smith Jr. has been over value in three of his last four. His one miss was by less than .2 fantasy points. He needs 28.2 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. That should be no issue for the Mavericks rookie given the matchup and his level of play. Expect him to rack up points and assists in this one, leading to a 30-plus fantasy point night. ****
