High Salary C

Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat (7,800): Whiteside missed the Heat’s game on Monday against Golden State but has been solid in the last three games he has played including a downright beastly performance on Friday against the Nuggets.  He has three straight double-doubles but he took that to a new level on Friday with 19 points, 17 boards, and a massive 11 blocks for a total of 62.4 fantasy points. Tonight’s matchup against the Thunder isn’t quite as favorable as that game was, but he’s the top center I’d spend on in tonight’s games. ∗∗∗∗

Zaza Pachulia-Dallas Mavericks (6,800): Pachulia fell one point short of his third straight double-double on Friday against the Bulls and posted 27 fantasy points on nine points, ten boards, and four assists.  His 27 fantasy points snapped a string of nine straight games with at least 30 fantasy points.  He’s a safe pick for tonight, although his matchup against the Spurs in San Antonio is definitely a cause for concern. ∗
