High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Steph Curry (vs CHI – $10,200): Needs 43.4 fantasy points. This could be a blowout. But Curry dominates the Bulls even in blowouts. He’s averaging 1.68 FPPM in his last three games against the Bulls. He had 51.1 fantasy points in 25 minutes against the Bulls on Oct. 29. So, even if you think the Warriors will win by 100, Curry will probably be the reason why they win by that much. Diagnosis: Reliable even in a blowout. And if it’s close, even better.

Kyle Lowry (vs BKN – $7,800): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. You typically know what you’re getting from Lowry. The Raptors are looking healthy and that’s obviously a big help for Lowry. The scoring and assists will be there and he’s been good with his defense lately. Now that his scoring has returned to form, I have very little doubt about Lowry. At the very least, he’s going to get you value. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Jeff Teague (vs DAL – $7,000): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. Teague was down to 29.9 fantasy points against the Thunder, but he was ejected after 25 minutes. He’ll see more minutes in this game and it’s against the Mavericks at home. I expect Teague to be back in form in this game. The matchup is good and with Rose is out, Teague will get to run the offense more. And you can’t trust Wiggins as he only seems to kill OKC. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.
