High Salary PF

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,700): Cousins price has climbed to well over 10K, but he is producing at such a high level that he could be worth it tonight against the Pacers who don’t have a ton of size available expect for rookie Myles Turner.  Cousins has at least 50 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games with over 59 fantasy points in five of those contests.  He had 24 points and 15 rebounds to go with five assists, three steals, and two blocks in his most recent game against the Hawks and he has at least 19 points and ten rebounds in each of his last nine games.  It’s been a great start to 2016 for Boogie, and he should be able to keep things rolling tonight against the Pacers.∗∗∗

Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (10,000): Davis posted exactly over 48 fantasy points for the second straight game on Thursday against the Pistons on 32 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocks.  He has at least 39 fantasy points in each of his last five games and has been able to stay injury-free.  If you are going to spend big on a star tonight, “The Brow” is a good option since he’s in a great matchup against the Bucks who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PF and don’t have the size to match up well with Davis. Davis could be in for a huge game, and at the very least should be able to get you over 45 fantasy points tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,200): Kevin Love is a solid play since he has posted two excellent games after an embarrassing game against the Warriors.  If you don’t count his ugly three-point game against Golden State, Love has six straight double-doubles and has posted over 35 fantasy points in six of his last seven games. He had 17 points and 18 rebounds against the nets on Wednesday and followed that with 18 points and 16 rebounds against the Clippers.  The Bulls interior defense struggles without Noah, so look for Love to be a good play again tonight as he tries to erase Monday’s disaster from the national sports consciousness with a big game on ABC tonight. ∗∗∗
