High Salary PF

Dirk Nowitzki-Dallas Mavericks (7,000): Since Dallas plays the early game we should know before roster lock if Dirk is going to be able to give it a go.  He is considered questionable with a knee injury, but the played on Friday and posted 14 points in 29 minutes against the Thunder.  While he didn’t look 100%, he is still worth a look if he can get on the floor today against Houston who allows the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF.  Dirk dropped 16 points and ten rebounds on them in their earlier meeting this year asking four assists and two steals as well.  Dirk had a huge 44.2 fantasy points on Monday against Boston but was forced to sit out Wednesday due to inflammation in his knee. Hopefully it has calmed down enough to let him go tonight, and he’s a good option if he plays. ∗∗∗ but check back to make sure he’s active.

Nerlens Noel-Philadelphia 76ers (6,400): Noel only played 19 minutes on Wednesday before leaving with a headache and blurred vision.  He is reportedly fine and ready to play tonight against the Celtics who allow the fifth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF.  Noel had a monster game on Monday with 18 points and 13 rebounds against the Knicks while playing a massive 47 minutes in the overtime thriller.  He probably won’t get that much work tonight, but he had at least 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games before his injury-shortened contest, so he should be in a place to produce tonight against the Celtics. ∗∗∗∗
