High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Steph Curry (at CHI – $10,200): Needs 46.7 fantasy points. All Steph Curry does is score points. And there’s a high probability he scores plenty of points against the Bulls. He’s shooting lights out right now, so he’s giving you threes as well. His assist numbers were back up against the Nets, which is a good sign moving forward. Curry will get plenty of points in this one. Diagnosis: He’s unconscious right now. It’s a high salary, but a great matchup and he’s red hot.

Damian Lillard (at IND – $9,400): Needs 44.3 fantasy points. Speaking of guys who are red hot right now. Lillard has been over 60 fantasy points in his last two games. The Pacers have found a rhythm, but I don’t trust their defense against the way Dame has been scoring. Maybe he cools down, but I’m not betting against him. Diagnosis: Has more potential than Curry as a lower salary. The matchup is slightly tougher.

Kyle Lowry (at MIL – $8,000): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. Leonard and Giannis are going to get all the attention ahead of Monday’s matchup, but Lowry is the third best player on the floor. And he’s collecting double-doubles on a nightly basis right now. The Bucks defense is still slightly concerning and I think Lowry can pick them apart with his passing. Diagnosis: Steady hand with a high ceiling.

Quick Hits

Zach LaVine ($7,800): MVP LaVine will likely look to put on a show against the top team in the league.

Jamal Murray ($6,300): Good salary and matchup for him to have a huge game.
