High Salary C

Al Horford-Atlanta Hawks (7,200): There are some great value plays at center on the next slide, but the top name I’d consider tonight over 6K is definitely the Hawks’ Al Horford. He has been picking up his production lately with at least 40 fantasy points in five of his last seven games.  He’s coming off a season-high 33 points on Saturday against the Bulls when he totaled a massive 66.5 fantasy points thanks to ten boards, six assists, and four blocks. Horford and the Hawks are in Charlotte tonight taking on the Al Jefferson-less Hornets, so look for the Hawks version of Big Al to keep right on rolling. 

Zaza Pachulia-Dallas Mavericks (6,300): Pachulia keeps right on chugging along with 36 fantasy points last night against the Cavs on another double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.  He now has at least 32 fantasy points in nine straight games and is averaging 11.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 2.0 assists per game over his last five.  He has been between 32-38 fantasy points in each of his last nine games making him the model of consistent but not spectacular production as the Mavs head to OKC tonight. ∗∗
