High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at SA ($11,400): Paul George and Carmelo Anthony aren’t pulling their weight, which has led Westbrook to do the heavy lifting. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games and had 55 fantasy points against the Spurs on Mar. 10. He needs 53.5 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. The Spurs are always a tricky matchup as they try to take away the top option, but Westbrook always finds a way to get his numbers. He should be over 50 fantasy points, especially if San Antonio can’t keep up offensively if LaMarcus Aldridge is out. *****

Goran Dragic, MIA vs CHI ($6,700): Dragic has missed value in three of his last four, falling 10-plus fantasy points under value in two of those contests. He’s been more miss than hit this season, coming into this game with a 49 percent “value hit” rate. But he’s been good against Chicago this season, averaging 36.5 fantasy points in three games, including a 40.75 fantasy point effort on Jan. 15. The matchup is good and he should be back over value. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at GS ($7,000): The Warriors could get some reinforcements back on Thursday, but that shouldn’t stop the Bucks stars from still putting up solid fantasy performances. Bledsoe has been at value or better in four of his last five. He needs 32.8 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. The Warriors are 27th against point guards in their last 15 games. Bledsoe should be around value in this one. ***
