High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at SAC ($12,000): The Kings are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Westbrook has been rather disappointing against the Kings this season, averaging 45.1 fantasy points in two games. He needs 52.6 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. The first came against the Kings came before Oklahoma City turned their season around and the second his minutes were down due to a late ejection. His production should be up in this one as the Thunder came out focused and ready to make a playoff push following the All-Star break. *****

Steph Curry, GS vs LAC ($9,300): Curry limped into the break, missing value in eight straight contests. The Warriors appeared to be going through the motions in a lot of those games, but that should change now that the break is behind them. The Clippers are a desperate club and the Warriors need wins to stay in front of the Rockets. Expect Curry to raise his game in the final part of the season, starting on Thursday with a value hitting performance. ****

Kemba Walker, CHA vs BKN ($9,100): Walker entered the All-Star break by going over 40 fantasy points in three of four contests. He needs 39.9 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. The Hornets are a better team at home, although Walker’s fantasy numbers have been steady whether at home or on the road. The Nets are 15th against the position in their last 15 games. Walker should be over 40 fantasy points once again, given the matchup. ****
