High Salary PF

Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (7,800): The Knicks are back home tonight at MSG after a five-game trip to the West. On their trip, Porzingis had a pair of games over 55 fantasy points, a pair of games in the 30’s, and a dud of just 13.25 fantasy points against the Warriors when the Knicks rested their other stars Rose and Anthony. Porizingis is in a good matchup at home tonight against the Pacers, and he should be a solid play at home under 8K.

Joel Embiid-Philadelphia 76ers (7,600): Embiid dominated for a career-high 33 points to go with ten boards, three blocks, and two steals for 58 fantasy points on Sunday agaisnt the Nets. Tonight, he gets another great matchup against the Pelicans who are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season. He came into Sunday off a few down games against the Raptors and Lakers, but he reminded everyone why “The Process” is worth a look tonight against the Pels.

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (7,500): Green had a good game of 13-10-8 with four steals against the Jazz earlier this month for 48.5 fantasy points. He struggled to score in his last game against the Blazers with 3-12-13 for 40 fantasy points, but he should be able to produce tonight against the Jazz. Golden State will have to rely on Green to battle Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert down low, so he’ll likely log a lot of playing time tonight at home against Utah.

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,700): Parker is in my  DraftKings daily picks just about every time he takes the court because of his upside. He produced over 32 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games including three games in his last seven with over 39 fantasy points. He struggled a little bit against Cleveland last time the teams met with 18-4-1 for 29.0 fantasy points , but he should have a better matchup tonight with K-Love already ruled out.
