High Salary PF

Blake Griffin-Los Angles Clippers (8,500): Griffin against the Blazers always seems to be a good play. He opened the season with 27 points and 13 rebounds against Portland for 52.6 fantasy points. He hasn’t been able to match that total in any of his six games since but he has had at least 36 fantasy points in four of his last five. The Clippers have been cruising to most of their recent wins which has limited his playing time and fantasy production. That does mean he should be fresh for tonight’s contest against the Blazers, though, so he’s the option I like the most of the expensive PF.∗∗∗

Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (6,600): Porzingis has bounced back from an ugly game against Houston at the beginning of the month with a pair of nice performances on Friday in Chicago and Sunday at home against Utah. Porzingis had 27 points, five boards, and an assist for 34.5 fantasy points in Chicago and 41.1 fantasy points on 28 points, eight rebounds, and a pair of blocks against the Jazz. The Nets are allowing this sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing PF this season, and as result Porzingis should be able to keep things rolling making him a nice play under 7K.  ∗∗∗∗

Tobias Harris-Detroit Pistons (5,900): The Suns have been even worse against opposing PF allowing the rought-most fantasy points per game. Harris has struggled badly in his last two games with under 15 fantasy points in each contest, but he was on a nice run with five games over 28 fantasy points before that. Look for him to bounce back tonight as the Pistons try to erase their bad loss on Monday. ∗∗

Taj Gibson-Chicago Bulls (5,800): Gibson has been a much steadier option than Harris although he doesn’t have the upside that Harris does against the Suns. Taj has produced between 25-30 fantasy points in five of his seven games this season and is coming off a season-high 33.7 fantasy points against the Magic on Monday. He had 16 points and 11 boards in that contest, but I expect him to return to his more typical low-grade double-double with some defensive numbers to get him to 25-30 fantasy points tonight against the Hawks. He should bget plenty of time against Millsap and Howard since he’s one of the Bulls’ better interior defenders. ∗∗∗
