High Salary C

Pau Gasol-Chicago Bulls (8,800): Gasol has been hot over his last five games as he tries to get the Bulls headed the right direction.  He has posted five straight double-doubles while averaging 19.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 0.8 blocks.  He has a tough matchup tonight against Rudy Gobert, but the big Frenchman hasn’t been as lights-out a defender lately which could allow Gasol to keep things rolling tonight.  He’ll definitely be heavily involved in the Bulls attack and is on enough of a hot streak to spend big on him tonight. ∗∗

Andre Drummond-Detroit Pistons (8,600): Drummond has struggled lately, but he has dominated his matchup with the Nets so far this season.  He averaged 21.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in his two games against the Nets, and Brooklyn has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers over the season so far. If you’d rather go on matchup than recent form, Drummond is the play tonight, but his recent struggles make him higher-risk than Lopez. ∗∗

Brook Lopez-Brooklyn Nets (7,400): In one of the best battles of the bigs tonight, Lopez will face off with Andre Drummond and the Pistons.  Lopez has at least 53 fantasy points in each of his last two games and has three of his last four.  He has posted six double-doubles in his last seven games and is clearly the go-to option in the Nets offense.  While it isn’t an easy matchup against Detroit, the Pistons have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers over their last ten games, so Lopez is a great option again tonight.∗∗∗∗

Greg Monroe-Milwaukee Bucks (7,000): Monroe finished January with five straight games with at least 21 points and at least 30 fantasy points.  He has finished with seven double-doubles in his last ten games and is a virtual lock for at least 35 fantasy points on most nights.  Tonight, he’ll match up with the Kings who may or may not have DeMarcus Cousins, but either way their interior defense can be suspect.  Look for Monroe to continue his solid, steady production with 20-10 potential tonight in Sacramento. ∗∗∗∗
