High Salary C

Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat (8,000): Whiteside ended up with 35.4 fantasy points in Game 1 against the Raptors on nine points, 17 boards, two steals, and a block.  He still seems a bit limited by his thigh injury, but he did play 39 minutes which shows he’s starting to get back to full strength.  He’s definitely the best and safest option at center, but he’s also very pricey to roll with for Game 2.

Jonas Valanciunas-Toronto Raptors (6,200): Valanciunas was the winning pick on Tuesday when he powered the Raptors with 24 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals in his 41 minutes.  He had a massive 54.3 fantasy points, and continue to play huge minutes down the stretch since Bismack Biyombo was largely inefficient at anything but sinking my DFS teams.
