High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Russell Westbrook (at IND – $10,900): Needs 52.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 72.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. It’s a back-to-back for the Thunder but one guy who always brings the energy is Westbrook. The rest of the team may not be there with him but Westbrook will get his numbers because Westbrook always gets his numbers. You can build around Westbrook with plenty of confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyrie Irving (vs SAC – $8,900): Needs 42.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Kyrie didn’t play in the Kings game a week ago but the matchup is a great one and Kyrie is the best player on the floor. He’ll get his points and assists in this game while also chipping in with rebounds and may a steal or two. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kyle Lowry (vs LAL – $7,700): Needs 37.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.75 fantasy points against Cleveland. By all indications, Lowry is going to play. Obviously, check his status before making any decisions. Assuming he plays, he’s into a great matchup against the Lakers. He should have no issue carving up their non-existent defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
