High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR vs OKC ($9,400): The Thunder are first against point guards in their last 15 games, but their defense has struggled against three-point shooters with Andre Roberson out of the lineup. Lillard is as deadly as they come from deep. He had 64.75 fantasy points against the Thunder on Nov. 5. He’s been over value in six of his last seven and is carrying his team on his back. The matchup is good and Lillard is hot right now. Expect a monster game from the Trail Blazers star. *****

Kyrie Irving, BOS at HOU ($8,500): Irving has been over value in three straight. He should be well rested as he hasn’t played over 25 minutes in his last two games with the Celtics blowing out opponents. Irving looks as good as he’s looked all season and this one should be a competitive outing between two of the top teams in the league. Irving will no doubt raise his game facing off with Chris Paul. Expect him to push 50 fantasy points in this one. ****

Goran Dragic, MIA vs DET ($7,500): The Pistons are 18th against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Dragic is averaging 46.4 fantasy points in two games against the Pistons this season, including going over 50 fantasy points in his last two contest. This is a matchup that Dragic has dominated and the Pistons are a mess right now, failing to beat the Magic on Friday. He needs 35.3 fantasy points to his value and should be over 40 fantasy points in this one. ****
