High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook, OKC at NO ($11,500): The Pelicans are 30th against point guards in their last 15 games. Westbrook is coming off a 72.25 fantasy point performance against the Nuggets on Friday. He’s averaging 66.2 fantasy points in his last six games against the Pelicans and needs 53.9 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. You know he’ll get you at least a double-double with at least 25 points and a triple-double is never out of the question when it comes to Westbrook. The matchup is good and win or lose, he’s going to put up big numbers in all categories. *****
Jrue Holiday, NO vs OKC ($8,000): While the Pelicans are last against point guards in their last 15 games, the Thunder are 29th. Guard play is going to rule in Sunday’s contest between the Pelicans and Thunder. And Holiday is the best guard on New Orleans side of things. He needs 37.5 fantasy points to reach value in Sunday’s tilt. He should give you at least 40 fantasy points and pushing 50 fantasy points is not out of the question given the Oklahoma City defense. *****
Donovan Mitchell, UTA at MIN ($7,300): Mitchell has missed value in his last two games, but he was within two fantasy points of value in both games. Prior to that, he had been over value in six straight. His salary has dipped a bit to where he needs 34.2 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. He’s averaging 40.5 fantasy points in his last two games against the Timberwolves. He should push 40 fantasy points in this one and given the Timberwolves defense, there’s a good chance he goes over 40 fantasy points. ****
ES: Victor Oladipo, IND at LAC ($9,100)
