High Salary PG

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs NY ($8,000): The Knicks are second against the position in their last 15 games, but you can practically throw that number out the window. Even if the Knicks don’t make a trade, they’ll be without Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter. Trips to the rim should be easy for the perimeter players of the Raptors. Lowry is averaging 46.6 fantasy points in two games against the Knicks this season. He should he over 40 fantasy points once again in this contest. *****

Damian Lillard, POR vs CHA ($9,200): Lillard hit value in all three games on Portland’s recent east coast road trip. A return home and a game against the Hornets, currently on a west coast road trip, should have him over value once again. He needs 38.5 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Both teams might look a little different on Thursday, but Lillard will be there and he will contribute in a big way. ****

Russell Westbrook, OKC at LAL ($12,100): Westbrook is currently listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but chances he plays. Check his status before making any final decisions. If he’s out, grab Raymond Felton on the cheap as he’ll be the only reliable ball handler on the Thunder outside of Paul George. Assuming Westbrook plays, he’ll give you his typical 50 fantasy points. Especially if Carmelo Anthony, also listed as questionable, is out. He had 51.5 fantasy points against the Lakers on Sunday. ****
