High Salary PG

Kemba Walker, CHA at WAS ($8,500): Walker has been up-and-down in his last four games. He’s coming off a down performance, finishing with 29.5 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. He had 39.75 fantasy points against the Wizards on Feb. 23. That number would put him right at value on Saturday. John Wall’s return could change things for Walker depending on how you think Wall will look defensively after such a long layoff. Expect him around value and there’s always a chance he delivers a big performance. ***

Kyle Lowry, TOR at BOS ($8,400): The Celtics are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Lowry was right at value against the Nuggets on Tuesday. He needs 39.3 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday and had 45.5 fantasy points in just 25 minutes against the Celtics on Feb. 6. The Celtics are back at home after a west coast road trip, so they should be energized. The Raptors have slid a bit, but they’ll be fired up for this one. Expect Lowry around value. ***

Quinn Cook, GS at SAC ($6,600): Cook had 41 fantasy points against the Bucks on Thursday. He was helped out by Kevin Durant getting tossed early, putting him back at the top scoring option. Assuming Durant controls his temper, Cook’s value could go either way. It looks like Klay Thompson will play in this one as well, which could hurt Cook’s value. But the matchup is good and he’ll continue to get plenty of scoring chances as the starting point guard next to the other three All-Stars. ****
