High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,900): The Hawks took a big step forward to securing the #3-seed by knocking off the celtics, but they still have plenty to play for tonight as they take on the Cavs. Millsap has been excellent coming down the stretch for Atlanta with at least 40 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games including three games in his last four with at least 50 fantasy points. He had an absolutely huge games against the Celtics with 31 points, 16 rebounds, five blocks, three assists, and two steals for 65.7 fantasy points, and he’ll look to build on that tonight against the Cavs who he had 29 points and 12 boards against the last time he faced them totaling 50.9 fantasy points in that matchup.  He could be rested if the game gets out of hand, but if he gets his usual minutes he’ll be set up to continue his recent run of production. ∗∗∗∗

Derrick Favors-Utah Jazz (6,700): Favors was a late scratch last nigh, but I think he’ll return tonight in a game the Jazz need to win tonight against the Mavericks.  Before sitting last night, Favors had a double-double against the Clippers finishing with 32.2 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. Last night his last-minute absence was troubling, but hopefully we get clarity today and the former Georgia Tech big-man can return to he floor against the Mavs who he had 16 points, six assists, and eight rebounds against in their last meeting.∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,500): Parker had a disappointing 19.2 fantasy points last night in Phily scoring 15 points to go with six rebounds.  He had run off 24 fantasy points in seven straight before last night’s letdown, and he’s set up for a bounce back against the Magic tonight who will likely be without Aaron Gordon.  When the Bucks played the Magic ten days ago, Parker had 26 points, seven rebounds, and five assists for 41.9 fantasy points, and he could return to that level of production in what should be a high-scoring, high-energy Eastern Conference matchup tonight. ∗∗∗
