High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,800): Boogie has been rolling lately with at least 45 fantasy points in each of his last seven games and three games over 55 fantasy points in his last six contests.  One of those monster nights came Thursday in Utah where he lit up the Jazz and Rudy Gobert for 36 points and 17 rebounds.  Tonight, he’ll be taking on the Clippers who should have DeAndre Jordan back from illness but still won’t be able to slow down Cousins. LA has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing center this season, and Cousins had 32 points and 13 boards against them back in the season-opener at the end of October. ∗∗∗∗

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,500): 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 38 fantasy points. He should be able to attack the Knicks down low tonight. If you can’t afford Boogie, Gasol is the next best option in my opinion since he can give you such balanced production across the board. ∗∗∗

Jahlil Okafor-Philadelphia 76ers (6,300): 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 27 fantasy points in each of thos four games. ∗∗
