High Salary PG

Steph Curry, GS vs ATL ($10,000): Curry is listed as probable for Friday, which is a good sign for him playing. If he’s unable to play, keep riding the hot hand of Quinn Cook, who is about the only person who can get buckets for the Warriors right now. But if Curry plays, and there are no restrictions, he’s going to get all the shots and that’s great news for his value on Friday. He needs 43.1 fantasy points to reach value. Seeing has he’ll be the only Golden State All-Star on the floor, a 50-plus fantasy point should be on the table. *****

Kyle Lowry, TOR vs BKN ($8,300): Lowry has been over value in three straight, contributing at least 39 fantasy points in all three games. He had 34.1 fantasy points against the Nets on Mar. 13 and needs 35.7 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. The concern with Lowry is that he won’t get enough minutes to make a big impact, but you could always pair him with Fred VanVleet and take the 60-plus fantasy points they’ll get you as a duo. Even in limited minutes, Lowry should do enough to put himself around 35 fantasy points. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at CHI ($7,800): Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as doubtful for Friday’s contest, which means you’ll see a lot more of Bledsoe and Khris Middleton. The Bulls are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. The Bucks don’t play much defense, and that won’t get any better without Giannis, but their offense should do just fine against a weak Chicago squad. Bledsoe needs 33.6 fantasy points to reach value. Given the matchup and circumstances, he should push 40 fantasy points in this one. ****
