High Salary C

Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat (8,500): Whiteside is expected to play through his thigh bruise tonight and will be looking to post another double-double with multiple blocks. White side has reached that level in every game in this series and has at least 39 fantasy points in each contest as a result. His best game was Game 1 when he only needed 26 minutes to total 45.75 fantasy points on 21 points, 11 boards, and three blocks. He also had a good game on Saturday with 13 points, 18 boards, and four blocks, but he did sustain a thigh bruise which introduces another element of risk into the equation for him tonight. ∗∗

DeAndre Jordan-Los Angeles Clippers (7,700): Jordan has over 38 fantasy points in each of the first three games of his series against the Blazers who he also dominated during the regular season. Jordan is averaging 15.3 rebounds per game in the series and has multiple blocks in each contest as well. Since Whiteside in injured, Jordan becomes the “safer” play tonight even though he doesn’t have quite the ceiling that Whiteside offers. ∗∗∗∗
