High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Damian Lillard (vs MIN – $9,200): Needs 43.1 fantasy points. Lillard got back on track with 48 fantasy points against the Lakers on Saturday. I expect more of the same from him against the a poor Minnesota defense. The back-to-back is a bit worrying, but the Blazers should come out with plenty of effort after losing to the Lakers. And they didn’t have to travel, which helps the back-to-back situation. Diagnosis: Back on track and with a good matchup.

Kyle Lowry (at LAL – $8,500): Needs 39.8 fantasy points. The status of Kawhi Leonard is unknown, but with or without him in the lineup, you can expect at least 40 fantasy points out of Lowry. With him out of the lineup, he’ll have a higher ceiling. The Lakers are on a back-to-back and their defense remains a mess. Lowry will carve them up with points and assists while chipping in with rebounds and defense. Diagnosis: Reliable option with a great matchup. Ceiling depends on the status of Leonard.

Mike Conley (at PHO – $7,900): Needs 37 fantasy points. Conley has returned to form after struggling out of the gate. He’s coming off a 45.2 fantasy points performance against the Jazz. And now he has the Suns in front of him. As long as the game is competitive, Conley should have no issue putting up points and assists against one of the worst teams in the league. Diagnosis: Great matchup for a guy who can do a bit of everything. He’ll deliver.
