High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at PHO ($11,900): After missing value in three straight, Westbrook was over value on Wednesday, posting 56.7 fantasy points against the Mavericks. He scored 20-plus points for the first time since the All-Star break and looks to be somewhat back in rhythm. He always chips in with rebounds and assists. It’s the Suns and their defense is bad, which bodes well for Westbrook’s value. This game will be competitive and plenty of points will be scored. Westbrook will have his hand in many of the Oklahoma City points. *****

Kyle Lowry, TOR at WAS ($7,800): Lowry is coming off a 39.9 fantasy point effort against the Magic on Wednesday. He had 52.5 fantasy points against the Wizards on Feb. 1. Washington has played better since their, but Lowry has a much easier time on the floor with John Wall on the bench. He needs 34.9 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. This game should be close, which means Lowry’s minutes will be up. He’ll put up his usual strong numbers in all categories, pushing 40 fantasy points. ****

Dennis Schroder, ATL vs GS ($7,100): The Hawks have little to play for, but Schroder continues to play hard. He’s been over value in his last two games. The Warriors are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. This one might be over in the middle of the third quarter, but Schroder will see enough playing time to be over value. He averaged 34.3 fantasy points in two games against the Warriors last season and needs 31.8 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. ****
