High Salary PF

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (8,900): Green tipped home the game-winner last night in Memphis as part of his 46.2 fantasy points on 23 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Green is very invested in the chase for 73, and I don’t know how much Steve Kerr will be able to limit the big-man tonight.  That being said, Green hasn’t had great numbers against the Spurs this season, and the possibility of losing a few minutes and having to go on the road to San Antonio makes him a high-risk, high-salary play tonight. ∗∗

Derrick Favors-Utah Jazz (6,500): Favors posted a double-double against the Clippers in his last game finishing with 36.25 fantasy points on 11 points and 11 rebounds.  He had been scuffling a bit since a nice run in mid-March, so his solid game against the Clippers was a good sign for Utah even though they ultimately fell in overtime.  Tonight, he and the Jazz take on the Nuggets in what should be a great matchup for the big man.  Favors had 16 points, 11 rebounds, and six blocks against Denver when he faced them in early February, and Denver has allowed more fantasy points to opposing PF than any other NBA team this season which should allow Favors to post good numbers in a game the Jazz need to win. ∗∗∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,200): Parker has also been playing well coming down the stretch although he doesn’t usually bring non-scoring numbers on the level that Robinson has been lately.  Parker has at least 25 fantasy points in seven straight including three straight games last week when he had over 38 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll take on the 76ers who can’t defend opposing PF in what could be a sneakily-high-scoring matchup in one of the 5:00 games. ∗∗

Thomas Robinson-Brooklyn Nets (6,000): Robinson has been outstanding for the Nets and will continue to log heavy minutes with Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young shut down for the season.  Robinson has posted six straight double-doubles and has at least 28 fantasy points in each of those outings with at least 40 fantasy points in four of those games.  He isn’t a secret anymore and will be widely-owned as he takes on the Pacers tonight, but he has too much upside to pass up as he continues to post big numbers for the Nets. ∗∗∗∗
