High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Russell Westbrook (at MEM – $12,000): Needs 53.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.9 fantasy points against Toronto. You need a big game out of Russell Westbrook but Russell Westbrook usually delivers a big game. Especially if Paul George is starting to round back into form and he continues to shoot the ball at a decent clip. The Grizzlies can grind things out but the Thunder are the more talented team and if they are rolling, there won’t be much the Grizzlies can do. Westbrook will get his numbers because he always does. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Damian Lillard (vs BKN – $10,600): Needs 46.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.7 fantasy points against Detroit. Lillard continues to play well with McCollum out of the lineup and even though he was slightly down against the Pistons, I’m not concerned about him. The Nets are a great matchup and Lillard can produce a game that’s just as big as Westbrook on a cheaper salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mike Conley (vs OKC – $9,200): Needs 40.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.1 fantasy points against Minnesota. I like Ben Simmons on Monday as well as he should be a guy that is around value for you. And even though Conley didn’t play well in his last game, I expect him to be better against a Thunder defense that is still hit and miss. Conley will bounce back with a strong performance mainly because the Grizzlies have no good options. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
