High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,900): Boogie has played only 28 minutes in each of his last two contests since missing last Wednesday’s game with a bruised knee. He has still been productive with 44.7 fantasy points and 42.9 fantasy points in those two contests, but he isn’t quite worth 11K if he’s playing under 30 minutes a night.  He’s in a good matchup but his slight minutes reduction is cause for pause before you sink a ton of your salary cap into Cousins tonight. ∗∗

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (8,900): Towns has double-doubles in eight straight games and has been over 40 fantasy points in four of his last five games.  One of those double-doubles came against tonight’s opponent two weeks ago when he totaled 31 fantasy points on 17 points and ten boards against the Suns.  Phoenix will likely be without Tyson Chandler tonight which should open things up for KAT to have a big game as he continues to push to the end of his dominant rookie campaign. ∗∗∗

Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat (8,400): Whiteside still doesn’t start for the Heat, but he can definitely be your starting center tonight as he and Miami host the Nets. He exploded for 26 points, 12 boards, and five blocks for 51.4 fantasy points on Friday and now has double-doubles in four straight contests and 16 of his 18 games since the All Star break.  He’s good for a double-double with multiple blocks just about every night, and he should be in a good duel with Brook Lopez tonight. In his two previous games against Brooklyn this season, Whiteside has averaged 19 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks.∗∗∗∗

Al Horford-Altanta Hawks (7,100): Horford has put up at least 32 fantasy points in four of his last five games coming into tonight’s good matchup against the Bulls.  Horford gas averaged 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 3.3 blocks against Chicago this season, and he should be able to put up good numbers again tonight since Chicago will be short-handed and Paul Millsap is still questionable (head laceration). Without Millsap, Horford will have to carry more of the load, but either way he’s a solid play. With Millsap-∗∗∗ No Millsap-∗∗∗∗∗
