High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC at NO ($11,600): The Pelicans are 24th against the position int heir last 15 games. Westbrook bounced back from his miss against the Spurs with 70.3 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Friday. As usual, you never have to worry about Westbrook getting his numbers. It’s just a matter of how high those numbers will climb. Given the matchup and New Orleans lack of defense, expect those numbers to climb pretty high on Sunday. He’ll be over 50 fantasy points and should push 60 fantasy points in this one. *****

Damian Lillard, POR vs MEM ($9,800): Lillard didn’t play in the meeting against the Grizzlies earlier this week as he watch attending the birth of his child. He came back on Friday and posted 39.9 fantasy points against the Clippers. He needs 43 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. The Grizzlies are fifth against the position in their last 15 games, but Lillard’s level of play has been above 98 percent of the league since the All-Star break and the Grizzlies, as a whole, are still a really bad team. Expect a bounce back performance from Lillard in this one. ****

Eric Bledsoe, MIL at DEN ($7,900): Bledsoe is coming off a 63.6 fantasy point performance against the Lakers on Friday. He’s been over value in four straight and has played well on the west coast road trip. He had 54.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Feb. 15 and has been over 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games against Denver. He needs 34.7 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. Expect him over 35 fantasy points without much trouble. ****

ES: Dejounte Murray, SA vs HOU ($6,100)
