High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs SA ($12,000): The Spurs are fifth against the position in their last 15 games, but Westbrook is Westbrook. He’s missed value in his last two games, but played only 30 minutes against Phoenix. His overall play in that game was more encouraging that his final numbers. The matchup is tough, but nobody stuffs the stat sheet like the reigning MVP. Expect him back over 50 fantasy points on Saturday. ****

Kemba Walker, CHA vs PHO ($8,900): Anyone against the Suns is a good matchup. Walker has missed value in his last two and has salary has dipped from Thursday’s game. He needs 38.6 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. This is the Suns we’re talking about and their whole objective from now until the end of the season isn’t to win games. Walker will collect plenty of points and assists in what could be another blowout against Phoenix. *****

Dennis Smith Jr., DAL vs MEM ($6,900): Smith jr. has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games and over value in five straight. He needs 29.9 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. Given that he’s the leader in Dallas now and the matchup against the Grizzlies, who rank 29th against the position in their last 15 games, that should be no problem for Smith Jr. Expect another game over 40 fantasy points for the Mavericks rookie. *****
