High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,700): Boogie will likely play tonight since its the Kings’ last home game of the season and the final game ever in their current arena.  Cousins has been effective when he has played putting up over 42 of in each of the five games he has played in the Kings’ last ten.  In his most recent outing, Cousins had 30 points and nine points against the Blazers for 46.3 fantasy points on Tuesday of this week.  Cousins has feasted on the Thunder this season averaging 27 points, 13.7 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks in his three games against OKC this season. If he’s active, he’s likely to post a bonkers line in what could be his final contest of the year. If confirmed active-∗∗∗∗ If no confirmation before 7:00 roster lock-too risky

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (8,800): Towns was limited to 27 minutes on Thursday against the Kings after playing 44 and 45 earlier this week against the Mavs and Warriors.  He had at least 35 fantasy points in each of those three games and has that many in eight of his last ten contests overall.  He has double-doubled in each of hist last 14 games, and he should be able to post big numbers tonight against the Blazers as long as he gets his usual workload.  Towns has averaged 19.7 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in his three previous games against Portland and the Blazers interior defense which has been a beatable matchup all year in DFS. ∗∗∗∗

Al Horford-Atlanta Hawks (6,900): Horford has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last three contests and in six of his last seven.  He hasn’t gone off or even reached 36 fantasy points in any of those contests, but he has continually been a solid option.  He will be in a good matchup against Boston tonight who he has had success against this season.  He offers balanced production coming in averaging 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks over his last ten games.  Horford doesn’t have quite as high a ceiling as Towns or Boogie, but he’s a safe investment at his salary tonight. ∗∗∗
