High Salary PF

Krisptas Porzingis-New York Knicks (6,900): Along with Carmelo Anthony, Porzingis has been helping to fuel the Knicks surge which they’ll look to continue tonight as they take on the Celtics.  Porzingis has at least 35 fantasy points in three of his last four games after 15 points, six rebounds, and five blocks on Sunday against the Bucks.  Coach Derek Fisher is sliding him to the five more often and Porzingis continues to be a matchup nightmare for teams on offense while contributing solid defensive numbers as well. Look for him to keep things going tonight against the Celtics who allow the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing PF. ∗∗∗∗

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (6,800): Aldridge was one of my better DraftKings daily picks for last night as he piled up a quick 25 points and 11 rebounds in just 28 minutes against the Nets.  Aldridge had 43.25 fantasy points giving him at least 34 fantasy points in four of his last five contests.  Tonight, he’s in a good matchup against Detroit, and he should be able to continue to produce solid numbers as he settles in with the Spurs and becomes a bigger part of their offense.∗∗∗

Zach Randolph-Memphis Grizzlies (6,500): Randolph went off for a huge game Sunday scoring 25 points to go with 13 boards, two blocks, two assists, and a steal against the Celtics.  Randolph has been crushing other teams’ bench units coming in with Memphis’s second unit and now has double-digit points in nine of his last ten with at least 24 points in three of his last four.  He has at least 39 fantasy points in three of his last four, and he’s in a tasty matchup tonight against Houston who allows the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF. Given his current roll and his matchup, Z-Bo is a great pick for another big game tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Ryan Anderson-New Orleans Pelicans (6,500): Anderson’s value depends largely on the availability of Anthony Davis, but he has been playing well enough lately that even if Davis ends up playing Anderson should still be a decent option.  Anderson has scored double-digit points in nine of his last ten games with at least 16 points in four of his last five.  He had a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double starting in place of Davis on Sunday against the Clippers, and he should fare even better if he gets the start again tonight against the Lakers. With Davis-∗ Without Davis-∗∗∗∗
