High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,900): The Thunder have solid defenders Steven Adams and Serge Ibaka to run with Cousins tonight, but Boogie has averaged 23 points and 14.5 rebounds with 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals in his two games against the Thunder this season.  Cousins has been dialed in lately with over 55 fantasy points in three of his last four games including a game with 58.5 fantasy points against the Clippers on Friday when he finished with 26 points, 15 boards, and nine assists.  He was only slowed down by the Spurs since the break, but has still averaged 31 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 blocks in his four games since the All Star game. ∗∗∗

Brook Lopez-Brooklyn Nets (8,400): Lopez has struggled in his last two games with under 30 fantasy points, but he definitely has the potential to bounce back tonight against the Clippers. Lopez had two games of 50+ fantasy points coming out of the break and LA has been giving up big numbers to opposing centers in their last few games including Boogie’s big night last week.  Lopez is a bounce back candidate in the late game, but he’s not a cheap gamble to take with his salary over 8K. ∗∗

Marcin Gortat-Washington Wizards (6,900): Washington has been bringing in big men with the acquisition of Markieff Morris and J.J. Hickson, but Gortat is still the main man in the middle.  He played just 25 minutes yesterday in a blowout win over Cleveland but still finished with 13 points, nine rebounds, and three assists for a total of 30.3 fantasy points. He has at least 29 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games and should be able to produce a nice line tonight against the 76ers who have allowed more fantasy points to opposing centers than any other NBA team this season. Gortat had a solid 12 points and 11 rebounds against Phily on Friday, but I expect him to exceed those numbers tonight. ∗∗∗
