High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Damian Lillard (vs LAL – $9,700): Needs 40.6 fantasy points. Lillard has cooled off in his last two games, but I’m unconcerned heading into Saturday. The Lakers are another poor defensive team and there seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes, which is never good. Lillard will get his points and assists in this one. Being in LA, he might put on a show. Diagnosis: Great matchup and we know what he’s capable of overall.

Kemba Walker (vs CLE – $9,300): Needs 39 fantasy points. Like Lillard, Walker has cooled down in the last two games. Also like Lillard, this matchup is fantastic. The Cavaliers are the worst team in the league and we know Walker has big scoring ability. This is just what the doctor ordered for Walker to get him back on strack. Diagnosis: Love the matchup and his ceiling. Walker is one of my favorite plays on the night.

Kyrie Irving (at IND – $7,800): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. Kyrie has found his rhythm and it’s led to back-to-back 45-plus fantasy point outings. When Kyrie is hot from the field, he’s one of the toughest guards in the league. And he’s been picking up assists in the last few games. With the Pacers on a back-to-back, look for Kyrie to keep it going. Diagnosis: Good matchup and Irving has re-established himself as an elite scorer.
