High Salary PF

Derrick Favors-Utah Jazz (7,400): Favors had a good game last night in Chicago scoring 24 points in 36 minutes and totaling 37.2 fantasy points. He has at least 29 fantasy points in four of his last five, now, and has been over 34 fantasy points in four of his last eight.  He’s in another great matchup tonight against the Bucks who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF this season.  Favors had a double-double of 11 points and 15 boards against Milwaukee in their meeting earlier this season  and was productive despite an ugly 4-15 shooting. He has been shooting much better lately (11-18 last night) which sets up well for him to have a good game tonight as long as the fatigue of a back-to-back doesn’t slow him down at all. 

Nerlens Noel-Philadelphia 76ers (7,000): Noel continues to be the man in the middle for the Sixers who are without Jahlil Okafor. Noel has played at least 34 minutes in four of his last five and is averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 2.6 steals over those five games. He’ll be in a favorable matchup tonight against the Celtics and is one of the better PF options tonight.  His price is a little high to me given his volatility, but his ability to produce in multiple categories is undeniable.
