High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at BOS ($11,600): Westbrook had 80.75 fantasy points against the Raptors on Sunday, collecting another triple-double. Westbrook not collecting a triple-double at this point would feel like a disappointment. The Thunder are playing their best basketball of the season and Westbrook’s recent play is a big reason why. He not score 30-plus points a night, but he’s going to contribute in all categories. With the Celtics banged up, the Thunder offense should be in for another strong night, led by the reigning MVP. *****

Damian Lillard, POR vs HOU ($9,300): Lillard was a bust on Sunday against the Clippers, finishing with 28.5 fantasy points in 31 minutes. The role players stepped up in that one, but this is a matchup where the stars are going to shine. Lillard is averaging 51.9 fantasy points in two games against the Rockets this season. He needs 41.7 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. Expect him to push 50 fantasy points once again in this one. ****

Jrue Holiday, NO vs DAL ($8,200): Holiday had 18.25 fantasy points against the Celtics on Sunday. It was a rare miss for him with Anthony Davis in the lineup and should not be expected to happen again, especially with this matchup. He had 44.75 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Mar. 4. He needs 36.8 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He should be over 40 fantasy points as the Pelicans turn in a good offensive performance against a weak Mavericks squad. ****
