High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at GS ($11,800): Westbrook his value by .3 fantasy points on Sunday against the Lakers. He had 65.5 fantasy points against the Warriors on Nov. 22. The Thunder defense has not been great, but that has not stopped Westbrook from posting big numbers on offense. Westbrook will look to carry the Thunder offense once again on Tuesday, leading to another 50-plus fantasy point night. ****

Steph Curry, GS vs OKC ($9,700): Curry has missed value in three straight and the Thunder rank second against the position in their last 15 games. All of that sounds like bad news for Curry, until you’ve seen the way the Thunder defense has played since losing Andre Roberson. They give up a lot of threes and Curry has the green light to shoot from deep on every possession. He’ll get over his shooting struggles in this one and provide plenty of wealth to his teammates. The turnovers are an issue, but less so against a Thunder defense without Roberson blowing everything up. *****

Chris Paul, HOU at BKN ($9,600): Paul had 51.1 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Saturday. He had it going while James Harden struggled, which is a reversal on how things typically are in Houston. Paul is always a solid play due to the offense he’s in. He’s even better on Tuesday given the matchup. He’ll be over value once again in this one. I know, going chalk on high salary guys isn’t exactly daring, but all three have good matchups. If you’re looking for a lesser salary option, take Elfrid Payton because he’s playing the Cavaliers and you should take any team playing the Cavaliers. ****
