High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Damian Lillard (vs MIA – $9,900): Needs 43.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 65.1 fantasy points against Utah. A quick note on Russell Westbrook. You can always take Westbrook with confidence and build around him. Especially against a good matchup like Orlando. But a guy like Lillard could get the same numbers at a cheaper price. And with the way Lillard has been playing, I expect him to get similar numbers at a cheaper price. I love Lillard’s game right now and like this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Mike Conley (vs MIN – $9,000): Needs 39.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.1 fantasy points against New York. Assuming Conley isn’t traded by the time you finish reading this, he continues to be a reliable option for the Grizzlies and this could be his last game as a member of the Grizzlies. The matchup is a good one and I love the way Conley is playing right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Terry Rozier (at CLE – $7,000): Needs 30.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.4 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Kyrie has already been ruled out of Tuesday’s game which means you can take Rozier with confidence. He’s been delivering nearly every time out as the starter. And the matchup is a good one because the Cavaliers are not good. Rozier will deliver as he always does with Kyrie out. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
