High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS at NY ($9,600): The Knicks are 10th against the piston in their last 15 games, but that matters not when Curry is playing at his current level. He had 47.8 fantasy points in 30 minutes against the Thunder on Saturday. He posted 48.7 fantasy points in 33 minutes against the Knicks on Jan. 23. Lack of playing time is the only concern for Curry on Monday. But even if he doesn’t play big minutes, he’ll put up 45-plus fantasy points without too much trouble. The Warriors are locked in and Curry is back. Bad news for the rest of the league. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS vs MEM ($8,500): Irving had 57.8 fantasy points against the Knicks on Saturday. The Grizzlies are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Irving underperformed against the Grizzlies on Dec. 16, contributing just 28.4 fantasy points in that contest. With the Celtics needing victories to keep pace in the East, Irving will be the guy to carry them moving forward. He needs 37.8 fantasy points to reach value on Monday. Given the matchup and Irving’s offensive talent, expect him to be well over value with 40-plus fantasy points. ****

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs DET ($8,300): Lowry missed value by .4 fantasy points against the Bucks. Prior to that, he had been 10-plus fantasy points in contests against the Bulls and Heat. The Pistons are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Lowry had 36.3 fantasy points against the Pistons on Jan. 17. That number would put him right at value on Monday. Given the circumstances and the recent play of the Pistons, Lowry should be over 40 fantasy points in this contest. ****
