High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,600): Even with all the fabulous point guards and KD in action, Cousins is the superstar I like the most for tonight’s game based mostly on matchup and his recent production. Cousins has at least 50 fantasy points in four straight games for Sacramento, and he should be well rested since the Kings haven’t played since Saturday when he had 33 points, ten boards, and three steals against the Warriors.  He has at least 29 points and ten rebounds in each of his last four games and even his “down” games usually end up around 20 and ten. Cousins is also in a great matchup against the Pelicans who have been among the leagues worst teams at defending opposing big men. Cousins should shred them tonight as they play their second game in a row, so build your lineup around Boogie for tonight’s game even though he costs over 10K.∗∗∗∗

Al Horford-Atlanta Hawks (8,200): In a much quieter way than Boogie, Horford has been picking up his production lately as well 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 64 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 tonight. ∗∗∗

Zaza Pachulia-Dallas Mavericks (6,700): Pachulia keeps right on chugging along with 32.9 fantasy points last night against the Cavs on another double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.  He now has at least 30 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 30-36 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. ∗∗∗
