High Salary C

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,400): Gasol has at least 33 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is coming off a strong game against Andre Drummond and the Pistons on Thursday. In that game, Gasol had 19 points, five rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and two steals for an even 39.75 fantasy points. He should be able to attack the Knicks down low tonight. If you are spending big on a center, Gasol is the only option I like at his price point tonight since he can give you such balanced production across the board. ∗∗∗

Al Horford-Atlanta Hawks (6,900): Horford bounced back yesterday after an abysmal 4.5 fantasy points on Wednesday against the Hornets.  Last night he still took 23 shots just to get his 18 points but added eight rebounds, two assists, and two blocks to get to 33.5 fantasy points. No team in the NBA has allowed more fantasy points to opposing centers than the Nets, so Horford should be able to have a very solid game tonight.  Roll with him if you have recovered from his bad burn on Wednesday. ∗∗∗∗

Jahlil Okafor-Philadelphia 76ers (6,200): Okafor struggled offensively on Thursday finishing with just 12 points against the Bulls, but Portland has been very generous to opposing big-men which should allow Okafor to bounce back. Before Thursday’s letdown, Okafor had scored 19 or more points in four of his previous five game and had at least 28 fantasy points in each of those four games. ∗∗
