High Salary PG

Damian Lillard, POR at LAL ($9,700): The Lakers are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. Lillard missed value against the Thunder, but he’s carrying the Trail Blazers on his back right now and should continue to do so on Monday. He posted 47 fantasy points against the Lakers on Nov. 2, although that game was too early in the season to mean much. The Lakers have played well in 2018, but the Blazers are rolling and on another level currently. Lillard is a big reason why. ****

Donovan Mitchell, UTA vs ORL ($8,100): Mitchell has been over value in his last two and enters a great matchup with the Magic. Orlando ranks 22nd against shooting guards in their last 15 games. This one might be one of the lower scoring games on the night, but that won’t stop Mitchell from having a solid scoring night to go along with a handful of rebounds and assists. Expect him to push 40 fantasy points in this contest. ****

Dejounte Murray, SA vs MEM ($6,400): The Grizzlies are 21st against point guards in their last 15 games and continue to roll out a mishmash of players. Ben McLemore is starting for Memphis right now. He’s played well, but still. It’s Ben McLemore. Murray missed value against the Lakers, but this matchup allows him to bounce back. If LaMarcus Aldridge is back, that will open up the floor even more for Murray. Expect him to be over 30 fantasy points. ****
