High Salary C
DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,500): Cousins had 26-8-11 a week and a half ago against the Cavs for 48.1 fantasy points and he’ll get another shot at the Champs tonight in Cleveland. Boogie has at least a double-double in nine straight games and has posted at least 48 fantasy points in seven of those nine. He had 22-14-6 with two blocks and two steals in Detroit on Monday, but he was even better last Saturday against the Bulls when he went off for 67.3 fantasy points on 42-14-3 with two blocks and one steal. Given his increased usage with no Rudy Gay, look for cousins to keep churning out big numbers for Sacramento.∗∗∗
Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (8,400): Gasol comes into tonight’s game against the Raptors with good form having posted 40+ fantasy points in four straight while scoring at least 24 points in each of those outings and adding his typical solid non-scoring numbers as well. Gasol is coming off a big 32-5-1 with three blocks for 44.5 fantasy points against Houston, and he will look to keep rolling tonight as he faces Toronto who is playing for the second night in a row as they travel to Memphis.∗∗∗∗
Dwight Howard-Atlanta Hawks (7,000): After resting for a game and then turning in two sub-par outings, Howard has looked back to normal his last two games with 13-15-3 for 35.5 fantasy points and 16-12-3 for 36.9 fantasy points against the Sixers and Clippers. He had just 11-6-0 while playing only 25 minutes against the Bulls in their meeting last Friday.∗∗
Mason Plumlee-Porltand Trail Blazers (6,500): Plumlee has over 34 fantasy points in each of his last two games behind strong double-doubles against the Sixers and Celtics. He had been quiet for most of the month before his last two games though including being held to just 11-7-1 for 23.9 fantasy points in his last meeting with LA. Plumlee should be good for around 30 fantasy points at home in such a good matchup, but he’s not a must-play which he could be if he would stay consistent.∗∗
