High Salary PF

Chris Bosh-Miami Heat (7,600): Bosh hasn’t gone off for any monster games lately, but he has been a steady contributor in the midst of the injury chaos in Miami.  He has at least 31 fantasy points in three of his last four games and seven of of his last nine.  He hasn’t reached 40 fantasy points in any of those games, though, and only managed two double-doubles.  Bosh will be in a pretty good matchup tonight against the Nets who allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing centers which is where Bosh will slide to if Hassan Whiteside misses his third contest in a row.∗∗∗

Thaddeus Young-Brooklyn Nets (6,600): Young had a big double-double against the Thunder on Sunday with 14 points and 14 boards on his way to 38.3 fantasy points. He hasn’t been as steady lately as he was earlier in the season, but when he gets rolling he can run off a few weeks of excellent numbers.  Look for him to take advantage of a thin Miami frontcourt if Whiteside is still sidelined for tonight’s matchups. No Whiteside-∗∗∗ With Whiteside-∗

Nerlens Noel-Philadelphia 76ers (6,400): Noel will take on a battered Phoenix front line tonight that will probably be missing Jone Leuer although Markieff Morris has been upgraded to probable.  Noel returned from a migraine-shortened game to chip in 25.3 fantasy points against the Celtics on Sunday.  He has at least 24 fantasy points in eight of his last ten (one of the games under that total being the migraine game).  Markieff Morris has been in the Suns’ doghouse for “lack of effort” among other things so look for Noel to be able to take advantage of the matchup tonight and be one of the better PF options on the night. ∗∗
