High Salary C

Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat (7,500): Whiteside has looked great lately with four straight double-doubles around a game he had to sit out with a knee issue. He has multiple blocked in each of those four games as well resulting in at least 32.25 fantasy points in each game including a 69.75 fantasy-point explosion against the Nuggets on Friday when he had a triple double with 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 blocks. Whiteside definitely has the potential to go off any given night and should be energized by the Heat’s return to Miami to take on Milwaukee. ∗∗∗

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,800): Towns is in the best matchup of the night for centers as he takes on the Pelicans who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing centers. Towns had 14 points and eight boards in Minnesota’s rout of Phoenix on Sunday for a solid 33 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in six of his last ten games and should be good for at least that many tonight in New Orleans. ∗∗∗
