High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Russell Westbrook (at UTA – $10,800): Needs 51.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Paul George is struggling which means Russell Westbrook has to pick his game up. And he’s done just that. Numbers are never an issue for Westbrook and while the Jazz usually give him trouble, he did have 81.75 fantasy points against them on Feb. 22. And again, if Paul George isn’t going to be Paul George, Westbrook will do the heavy lifting. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kyrie Irving (at LAC – $8,900): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.25 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Kyrie continues to roll on and he’s probably got some revenge on his mind in this game. He was playing well against the Clippers prior to his injury on Feb. 9 and that started the Celtics mini-spiral. They look like the Celtics again and Kyrie certainly looks like himself right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

De’Aaron Fox (at WAS – $7,300): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.75 fantasy points against New York. Just a fair warning, you’re about to read a lot about the Wizards and Kings. This is a game that is going to feature a lot of scoring and they have some good players at very good salaries. You’ve been warned. So, we’ll start with Fox. He’s veen playing very well and we know he has a high ceiling. He’ll do a bit of everything without question in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
