High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Russell Westbrook (at HOU – $12,100): Needs 53.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.1 fantasy points against Memphis. You know what you’re getting from Westbrook on most nights. He’s been on a triple-double roll and while the Rockets will make him work, he’s faced tougher defenses and has continued to pile up numbers. He’s not slowing down and he always has a little something extra, good or bad, in these big games. Westbrook will deliver as he always does. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kemba Walker (at ATL – $10,000): Needs 43.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54.2 fantasy points against Dallas. Kemba is rolling right now and now he gets the Hawks. This will be an up-tempo game and Kemba is still the leader of the Hornets offense. He should get plenty of points and assists in this one to go along with a handful of rebounds. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyle Lowry (at NY – $8,000): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.1 fantasy points against Atlanta. Lowry has been all over the place this season but this is a great matchup because the Knicks are always a great matchup. And if Kawhi is out once again, Lowry will be the leader of the offense. You should always take advantage of the Knicks and I still maintain that Lowry is angry with the trade rumors. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
