High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (7,700): Millsap took advantage of a good matchup last night to pile up 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals against the Bucks for 42.1 fantasy points. He has over 34 fantasy points in seven of his last eight making him a low-risk option at this price, and he definitely had the upside to have another good game tonight against Detroit.  The Pistons don’t have a ton of size up front which should allow Millsap to thrive in matchups against Tobias Harris, Marcus Morris, and Anthony Tolliver. ∗∗∗∗

Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,600): Dieng also had a big game last night playing 40 minutes against the Wizards and ending up with 40.3 fantasy points on 18 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two blocks.  HE has at least 36 fantasy points in four of his last five games after last night’s performance and has back-to-back games with over 40. Fatigue could be a factor tonight, but the T-Wolves will need his size as they deal with Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert, so look for Dieng to have another solid game.  He gets his production in so many categories that even given the fatigue concerns I think he’s a strong play. ∗∗∗

Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (6,400): Porzingis is surging to the finish line in his rookie year and had his second straight double-double on Thursday against the Bulls.  He has at least 27 fantasy points in four straight including both of his contests this week against Chicago when he had 36 fantasy points and 39.5 fantasy points. Whether he’s broken through the “Rookie Wall” or just rediscovered his form for a few days will be revealed in tonight’s matchup against the Cavs, but his ability to stretch the floor and also do solid work down low makes him a good play as long as he keeps getting a steady diet of 30+ minutes.∗∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,100): Parker had a solid night against Millsap and the Hawks last night finishing with 19 points and eight rebounds for 26.1 fantasy points. He has at least 23 fantasy points in three of his last four games now, and he’ll be in another good matchup for him as eh faces the Hornets tonight.  He’s not as much of a lock as the other PF on this part of my FanDuel daily picks, but he does have good upside. ∗∗
