High Salary C

Dwight Howard-Houston Rockets (8,100): Howard reminded us just how high his ceiling is in a dominant performance Monday night against the Clippers when he posted his ninth straight double-double while punishing DeAndre Jordan for 36 points, 26 rebounds, and four assists.  He finished with a crazy 78 fantasy points.  While he’ll have a hard time matching those numbers against Andre Drummond and the Pistons, he’s definitely dialed in and looking fully healthy and ready to help Houston push to the playoffs. ∗∗

Nikola Vucevic-Orlando Magic (7,300): Even though Vucevic only had 29.75 fantasy points on Monday he did end up with his third double-double in his last four games.  He had been on a run of three straight games with at least 40 fantasy points, and he should be able to return to that level tonight at home as the Magic face the 76ers who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing centers. 

Jahlil Okafor-Philadelphia 76ers (6,400): Okafor has scored at least 19 points in five of his last six games and has at least 30 fantasy points in four of those six games.  He is in a pretty good matchup against Vucevic tonight, so look for the rookie to be a solid value if you have to stay under 7K tonight.
