High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook, OKC vs MEM ($12,300): Westbrook needs 16 rebounds to average a triple-double for the season. If you know Westbrook, then you know that he’ll be chasing those rebounds and yelling at guys who don’t boxout for him. To go along with his likely 16 rebounds, he’ll get his usual double-digit points and assists. The Grizzlies are an easy matchup and Westbrook will probably play more minutes than he should in an effort to achieve round numbers. *****

Damian Lillard, POR vs UTA ($9,500): Lillard has missed value in his last two games, mainly due to his lower assist numbers. The Jazz present a tough defense, but Lillard knows how important this game is and can be trusted to raise his game. Especially with Portland at home and playing against a team on a back-to-back. He needs 40.7 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. Expect a bounce back performance as he jumps back over 40 fantasy points. ****

Jamal Murray, DEN at MIN ($6,900): Murray was down to 17.4 fantasy points against the Blazers on Monday. The Timberwolves are a much easier matchup, especially if they’re going to play Derrick Rose more than two minutes. Murray is averaging 37.2 fantasy points in three games against Minnesota this season. He needs 29.5 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. With everything on the line and against a below average defense, expect Murray to have a bounce back game. ****
