High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs DEN ($11,400): Westbrook had 49.2 fantasy points against the Spurs on Thursday. It wasn’t even a good performance by the reigning MVP, which goes to show you the kind of damage he can do even on an off-night. He should have an easier time on Friday as the Nuggets defense isn’t nearly on the level of the Spurs defense. The Nuggets rank 26th against the position in their last 15 games. He needs 50.3 fantasy points to reach value and should be over that number in this one. ****

Damian Lillard, POR vs LAC ($9,600): Lillard missed Wednesday’s contest for the birth of his child, but is back with the team and should be good to play in this one. Either he’ll have fresh legs because he didn’t have to play on Wednesday or he’ll have hospital legs because spending more than an hour in a hospital is the worst feeling in the world. He had 72.8 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Tuesday. He managed only 28 fantasy points in 31 minutes against the Clippers on Mar. 18. He should be good for value on Friday. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN at OKC ($7,400): The Thunder are on a back-to-back while the Nuggets haven’t played since Tuesday. Murray was under value in that game, finishing with 28.3 fantasy points. He had 43.1 fantasy points against the Thunder on Feb. 1 and the Thunder rank 27th against the position in their last 15 games. Things look very good for Murray on Friday. ****
