High Salary PF

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (9,700): Green has looked like one of the best five players in the NBA over the last few games while he’s helped fill in for so many of the injured Warriors.  He has at least 50 fantasy points in five of his last ten games and is coming off a monster 77.4 fantasy points on Saturday against the Nuggets.  In that contest, Green scored 29 points to go with 17 rebounds, 14 assists, and four steals.  He comes into tonight’s game against the Hornets off of back-to-back triple-doubles, and a third consecutive is far from out of the question against the Hornets if Steph is out again tonight.  He has a big price tag to live up to, but he’s locked in lately and capable of going off for another multi-category domination.

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (7,100): Aldridge continues to adjust to the Spurs system, but he has been stepping up lately and should be in a place to do so again tonight with Tony Parker out and Tim Duncan dealing with an injury as well.  Aldridge has put up 20 points in back-to-back games against the Suns and Rockets while continuing to add solid rebounding numbers.  In those two games, Aldridge has 38.4 and 37.8 fantasy points, and I think he’ll be around that range again tonight against the Bucks who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing PF. ∗∗∗∗

Thaddeus Young-Brooklyn Nets (6,700): Young had a double-double on Saturday against the Celtics with 16 points and ten boards giving him four double-doubles in his last six games. He has at least 30 fantasy points in each of those four games and should be able to near that mark again tonight against Boston who allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF. ∗∗∗
