High Salary PG
Russell Westbrook ($10,700): Westbrook had one of his worst playoff games in recent memory and still delivered 43.25 fantasy points. He’s angry, the Thunder season is on the line, and there’s good reason to think he won’t play as poorly on Monday as he did on Saturday. Expect him to bounce back in a big way and be back over 50 fantasy points. *****
Jeff Teague ($6,400): Teague has been over 40 fantasy points in two of the three games in this series. He’s had success against the Rockets all season and that’s continued in the playoffs. He should have another solid outing in Game 4, likely ending up around 35 fantasy points. ****
High Value PG
Derrick Rose ($3,800): Rose is getting playing time and he’s had some success in this series. He’s still tough to trust, but Tom Thibodeau certainly trusts him, which is what matters. There’s not a lot of value under the high salary guys, but if you’re looking for a punt option, Rose is certainly the best of the bunch. *
Raymond Felton ($3,300): Much like Rose, Felton is a guy who is going to get playing time as Westbrook’s backup. He’s played well in the last two games, but shouldn’t be counted upon to deliver any significant numbers. *
