High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (9,500): Cousins and the Kings are finally back home after a five-game road trip over the last eight days. Boogie posted over 50 fantasy points in two of his last three games on that trip with big games in Orlando and Toronto around a disappointing 23.8 fantasy points against the Bucks on Saturday. Cousins should be a good buy-in at this price tonight since the Pelicans have been one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending opposing centers. Getting Darren Collison back will also give the Kings offense a boost, so look for Cousins to rise to the challenge of playing his fellow-former-Wildcat and put up a big number against New Orleans tongiht. ∗∗∗∗

Dwight Howard-Atlanta Hawks (8,200): So far, so good for the homecoming of Howard to Atlanta. Dwight has a double-double in all but one of his six games this season (and that was in a blowout where his minutes were limited). He has at least 20 points in each of his last three games and at least 37 fantasy points in each of his last four. Howard will have a tough matchup against the Cavs D, but he’s still a very nice option at just over 8K.∗∗∗

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,100):  With the Grizz banged up as they welcome in the Nuggets, Gasol should carry a lot of the offensive weight in a pretty good matchup. He has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games and reached at least 37 fantasy points in three of his last four. If you can’t scrape together the coin for Dwight or Boogie, Gasol is a solid midrange option who should produce.∗∗∗
