High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Russell Westbrook (at MEM – $10,900): Needs 53.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 66.5 fantasy points against Toronto. While a lot of teams go through the motions this time of years, Russell Westbrook is not one of those guys. He’s going to get his numbers regardless of the matchup or the day. He had just 45 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Mar. 3 but Paul George didn’t play in that game, making things a little tougher on Westbrook. George is around, Westbrook does what Westbrook does, and he’ll get his numbers as always. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Damian Lillard (vs BKN – $9,900): Needs 48.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50 fantasy points against Detroit. No McCollum means plenty more of Lillard. He’s been fantastic during this recent stretch with McCollum out of the lineup. And he’ll continue to be fantastic because he’s a great player on a team lacking a second scorer. The Nets are a good matchup because they don’t play much defense and Lillard will carve them up. I like him more than Westbrook on this night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mike Conley (vs OKC – $7,500): Needs 36.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Minnesota. Conley was down against the Timberwolves but he has been playing very well prior to that, going over 45 fantasy points in five of his last six games. The Thunder defense can be all over the place and Conley will continue to run the Grizzlies offense, whatever is left of it, to the best of his ability. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
