High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Russell Westbrook (vs MEM – $12,000): Needs 52.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 57 fantasy points against Orlando. It’s Russell Westbrook. You always know what you’re going to get with Westbrook. He puts up big numbers in all categories and he’ll put up big numbers in this one. Memphis will likely be shorthanded with the trades they’ll make and even if they don’t make deals, they still aren’t very good. Westbrook will be in for a big night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyrie Irving (vs LAL – $10,400): Needs 45.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.3 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Kyrie has been great over the past few weeks and now he gets a Lakers squad that I have no idea what to expect. Really. I don’t know what to expect from the Lakers. I don’t even know who is going to be on the roster by the time the game starts. But I know Kyrie is going to put on a show against LeBron. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kyle Lowry (at ATL – $7,900): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.2 fantasy points against Philadelphia. I don’t know if Lowry is going to be on the team but if he’s on the team he might be pissed with all the rumors that were going around. And he’s got a good matchup against the Hawks. He’s averaging 49.2 fantasy points in two games against the Hawks this season. He will play angry and great because of it. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
