High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC vs SAC ($11,600): Westbrook finished with 55 fantasy points against the Spurs on Saturday. He had 57.25 fantasy points against the Kings on Feb. 22 and needs 52.6 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. Collecting numbers is never a problem for Westbrook, especially against poor defenses. He’ll get at least 50 fantasy points and likely post another triple-double. With the way the Thunder have been playing, minutes might be a concern for Westbrook on Monday. ****
Damian Lillard, POR vs MIA ($9,300): Lillard has been over value in six of his last seven. He needs 42.2 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. Miami ranks 18th against point guards in their last 15 games. Lillard is playing arguably the best basketball of his career right now and the Trail Blazers are red hot. The Heat present a tough matchup with their defense, but being at home and at his current level, there is no reason to doubt Lillard. He should be over 45 fantasy points. ****
Chris Paul, HOU vs SA ($7,700): Paul had 49.5 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Sunday. He benefited from no James Harden in the lineup. Harden is expected to return on Monday, which is bad news for Paul’s value. He needs 34.9 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He managed just 18 fantasy points against the Spurs on Feb. 1. He’s doubtful to go that low again, but reaching value might be a struggle just based on Harden’s return. There’s always a chance he has a big game and he’s going to get at least 30 fantasy points regardless. ***
