High Salary PF

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,200): Boogie is set up for a big night against the Pelicans who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers (which is normally where he plays despite his DK designation.  If you’re spending big on one player, he’s the star I’d build around. He has posted at least 47 fantasy points in five straight and eight of his last nine games. He fell just one rebounds short of a double-double in his last game against the Spurs but had ripped off five straight double-doubles before that.  He should be primed for a monster game tonight in what will be a high-scoring game in New Orleans. In his two games against the Pelicans this season, he has averaged 29 points, 11 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 blocks, and a steal. ∗∗∗∗

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (8,500): As the Warriors look to bounce back tonight, look for Green to be fired up and ready to take not he Magic.  He had a near triple-double in yesterday’s loss finishing with nine points, nine assists, and ten rebounds, but he also turned the ball over seven times and ultimately had just 34 fantasy points in 33 minutes.  He should be able to be much better tonight at home against the Magic, and his multi-category production makes him a threat for 50+ fantasy points in almost every contest. ∗∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (6,900): Love rested last week against the Wizards and returned on Saturday with a slow game against the Celtics totaling 21 fantasy points on ten points in 30 minutes.  He should be in a much better position to produce tonight as the Cavs host the Grizzlies who are very thin up front due to multiple injuries.  Love hasn’t been great lately, but he did post over 32 fantasy points in five of his seven games before his game off last week.  He has a good chance to get to that level tonight making him the best of the bunch of options between 6,600-8,400.∗∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,500): Parker scored 26 points in 36 minutes against the Thunder yesterday on his way to 43.75 fantasy points. He now has at least 30 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games, and is becoming a big part of the Bucks offense.  He is also getting plenty of playing time with at least 34 minutes in each of his last ten games, so look for him to again be productive tonight against the Bulls in what should be a pretty high-scoring game. ∗∗∗∗∗

Aaron Gordon-Orlando Magic (6,500): Gordon flopped to just 5.5 fantasy points on Friday against the Suns due to their dual-center lineup making him a matchup liability on defense.  He only played 16 minutes as a result finishing with four points and two rebounds.  He shouldn’t have that problem against the small-balling Golden State team that he played 30 minutes against two weeks ago.  He finished that game with 19 points and eight boards for 34 fantasy points. He had at least 30 fantasy points in eight of his last nine before his stinker on Friday, and I expect him to bounce back just fine tonight in Golden State even though his minutes aren’t quite guaranteed. ∗∗
