High Salary PF

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (8,300): Aldridge has the most upside of any PF on the board tonight by a wide margin, but he plays for the Spurs and the season is winding down meaning the possibility of getting “Popped” is a very real concern. Aldridge had a pair of monster games against the Grizzlies with 32 points and 12 rebounds on March 25 for 56.9 fantasy points and 31 points and 13 rebounds to total 54.1 fantasy points in his next game which came last Monday.  On Wednesday, he had a quieter game against the Pelicans with just 23.7 fantasy points on 11 points and six rebounds in the Spurs’ blowout win.  He definitely could dominate the Raptors tonight like he did the Grizz, but he’s risky since you can never be sure how much he’ll play even though the Spurs will be playing at home tonight looking to avoid the fate of Golden State last night. ∗∗∗

Luol Deng-Miami Heat (6,300): Deng has played well in his four games since missing last Wednesday’s matchup with Aldridge and the Spurs due to a thigh bruise.  In each of his four games back, Deng has played over 31 minutes and has production at least 37 fantasy points in two of those outings.  With Dwyane Wade possibly out again tonight, Deng will need to help carry the offensive load against the Blazers and his move to the stretch-four spot since the Heat acquired Joe Johnson has allowed him to pick up his non-scoring numbers enough to make him a low-risk option tonight. ∗∗∗
