High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Russell Westbrook (vs MEM – $11,300): Needs 53.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.75 fantasy points against Orlando. It’s Russell Westbrook. He’s probably going to have a triple-double because the triple-double has just been renamed the Russ West. It’s a thing. It’s not a thing. The Grizzlies might not have any players and they almost certainly won’t have Marc Gasol. It should be an easy night at the office for Westbrook. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyrie Irving (vs LAL – $9,500): Needs 45 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Kyrie is expect to be back in the lineup and he should have no issue carving up the Lakers. Let’s discuss the Lakers a little bit. I don’t know what you’re getting from them in this game. They might not have a single player. They might all turn against LeBron. I really don’t know. But I know Kyrie is going to put on a show against them. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Darren Collison (vs LAC – $6,400): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Collison was down against the Lakers but it was a blowout and he didn’t get his usual minutes. The Clippers should make it competitive enough. And I trust Collison to deliver a strong game because the Clippers want to be good but not too good. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
