High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,500): Millsap continues to produce across the board with great production in multiple categories. He has at least 40 fantasy points in six of his last seven games after scoring 13 points to go with 14 rebounds, five blocks, and two assists against the Raptors on Thursday.  Millsap will be in a great matchup tonight against the Celtics who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF this season.  Millsap has played them three times this season and has averaged 19.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. He’ll need to step up for Atlanta at home tonight as they try to hang on to the third spot in the Eastern Conference which would give them two rounds before they had to face the Cavaliers. I expect the Hawks to come out motivated tonight and take it to Boston who is playing their second night in a row.∗∗∗∗

Zach Randolph-Memphis Grizzlies (7,500): The Grizzlies only offensive option these days is Z-Bo, and last night the big man couldn’t get his shot going.  Ultimately, Randolph totaled just 20.2 fantasy points on 13 points and six boards due to his 6-20 shooting from the field. He showed how good he can be, though, with 27 points, ten rebounds, and four assists for 47 fantasy points against the Bulls earlier this week, and he’ll need to have that kind of game if there’s any way the Grizz are going to keep up with the Warriors in Memphis tonight. There’s a ton of potential in Randolph, but he’s also high-risk since Memphis will definitely need him if they plan on doing anything in the playoffs. ∗∗
