High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at SAC ($11,500): The Kings are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. Westbrook was over value in the three games prior to the All-Star break and finished with a 70.25 fantasy point performance against the Grizzlies. Post-All-Star break is typically when the good teams raise their level of play and the non-playoff teams begin to inject youth. The Kings have already started to inject youth, but we should see it even more in these final months. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is a team with playoff aspirations and should be fired up post-break. Westbrook should push 60 fantasy points on Thursday. *****

Steph Curry, GS vs LAC ($9,800): It was a rough run to the break for Steph Curry, but with the Houston Rockets threatening the Warriors for the top seed, Curry and the Warriors should ramp up a little earlier than they may have anticipated. Curry had 66 fantasy points against the Clippers on Jan. 6. Look for him to get back into form sooner rather than later, especially with this matchup. ****

Lou Williams, LAC at GS ($6,900): Williams has over value in his three games prior to the break. The last time he saw the Warriors, he had 65 fantasy points. On the off chance that the Warriors are still in their pre-break lull, Williams will be able to take advantage of them. His role has decreased with the changes to the Clippers roster and guys getting healthier, but he remains their most nuclear and consistent scoring option. ****
