High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS at NY ($10,600): Curry is back to his MVP form and that’s bad news for the rest of the league. It’s definitely bad news for the Knicks on Monday. The Knicks do rank fourth against point guards in their last 15 games, but this is the greatest shooter of all-time we’re talking about against a mediocre defense. Curry had 53.5 fantasy points against the Knicks on Jan. 23. Expect another great scoring night for the Warriors guard to go along with a handful of rebounds and assists. He’ll be over 50 fantasy points and there’s a chance he’s over 60 fantasy points as he puts on a show in the Garden. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS vs MEM ($8,700): Irving had 60.25 fantasy points against the Knicks on Saturday. The Grizzlies rank 24th against point guards in their last 15 games. He wasn’t great in the Dec. 16 game against Memphis, posting 32 fantasy points in that contest. He’s been inconsistent this season, hitting value in 56 percent of games. But he’s stepped up when the Celtics have needed him and he’s the most likely option on Boston to have a big fantasy night. The matchup is good and Irving will take advantage of it, going over 40 fantasy points without much trouble. ****

Jeff Teague, MIN at SAC ($7,400): The Kings are 29th against point guards in their last 15 games. Teague posted a monster 50.75 fantasy point game against the Bulls on Saturday. He’s been over value in five straight. With Jimmy Butler out, Teague will have to take on more responsibility in the backcourt. He’s proven throughout his career that he can elevate his game in the regular season. It certainly helps when he’s up against teams like the Bulls and Kings. Expect him to push 40 fantasy points on Monday. ****
