High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs SAC ($12,100): Westbrook has missed value in his last three games. His salary has gone up to where he needs 51.8 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He had 49.5 fantasy points against the Kings on Feb. 22. Westbrook will always be around 50 fantasy points due to his playmaking and rebounding to go along with his scoring, but this is a high price to pay for a guy who may not see enough minutes to reach value. Still, there is something appealing about a guaranteed 45-plus fantasy points. ***

Damian Lillard, POR vs MIA ($9,500): The Heat have the seventh-best defense in the league, but rank 15th against the position in their last 15 games. And Lillard is on one right now. He’s been over value in six of his last seven, elevating the Trail Blazers to a secure spot in the West playoff race. He needs 40.6 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He’ll be over that number and 50-plus fantasy points are not out of the question. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at MEM ($7,500): Bledsoe has missed value in his last two, struggling with his shot in each contest. He should have a bounce-back performance on Monday as the Bucks take on the Grizzlies. Memphis ranks 29th against the position in their last 15 games. Bledsoe needs 32.1 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He was over 40 fantasy points in the three games prior to this mini-slump and should be able to turn things around against Memphis. ****
