High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,000): Millay had a double-double last night against the Pistons totaling 38 fantasy points on 13 points, ten rebounds, four steals, a block, and an assist. Millsap has at least 35 fantasy points in five of his last six games but has only reached 45 twice in that span.  Tonight, he could definitely approach 45 as he faces the Nuggets who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF and have been giving up a lot of points in general on their trip to the Southeast. ∗∗∗

Thaddeus Young-Brooklyn Nets (7,300): Young has over 38 fantasy points in each of his last three games although two of those games did come against the soft 76ers frontcourt. He has been playing well overall since Joe Johnson left Brooklyn with created a chance for Young to carry more of the offense.  Tonight, he’ll take on the Bulls who are short-handed up front, and I think he has a good chance to return value once again tonight in Brooklyn. ∗∗∗∗

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (7,200): Aldridge will look to keep rolling tonight against his former team as he faces the Blazers.  He played them twice early in the season with mediocre results, but he has been much better lately as he takes a larger role in the Spurs’ offense.  Aldridge has at least 30 fantasy points in eight straight after finishing with 31.5 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Clippers.  His price has risen to the point where he needs to be near 20-10 to return value, but if the Blazers can keep the game competitive I can definitely see him reaching those levels tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,100): Parker’s emergence has been overshadowed by the greatness of Giannis lately, but he has turned into a very solid DFS option at PF.  Parker has at least 26 fantasy points in six of his last seven games with four games during that stretch of 30 fantasy points and a standout game of 43.75 fantasy points against the Thunder last Sunday.  He’ll be in a good place to produce tonight against the banged-up Grizzlies who continue to go with an unusual cast of characters up front due to a host of injuries. ∗∗∗
