High Salary C

Pau Gasol-Chicago Bulls (8,700): Gasol’s numbers are on the rise without Jimmy Butler, and the big Spaniard has produced at least 36 fantasy points in each of his last nine games including five over 46 fantasy points. He offers balance, across-the-board production and should be able to attack the Cavs tonight even though they do typically defend opposing big-men pretty well. 

DeAndre Jordan-Los Angeles Clippers (7,600): Since DraftKings doesn’t subtract for missed free throws, Jordan is a solid option ton take a look at for tonight against the Spurs.  He had at least 44 fantasy points in five of his last six games before the break and finished with a big 21-point, 16-rebound night in Boston on his way to 51.5 fantasy points. He is in a rough matchup against the Spurs who allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing centers and should have Tim Duncan available tonight, but Jordan is still a very solid play in the late-game tonight. 

Marcin Gortat-Washington Wizards (6,400): Gortat has been a double-double machine most of the season and finished the first half with four straight. He has at least 28 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games.  Since the Jazz come in big up front, Gortat will get all the time he can handle tonight and should be good for 30+ fantasy points. ∗∗
