High Salary C

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (6,700): Turner has been solid lately with at least 31 fantasy points in three straight. He ended up with 14-2-4 against Boogie and the Kings on Friday after 23-6-0 against the T-Wolves on Thursday. Turner and the Pacers face the Rockets tonight in a game where there should be plenty of points and shot attempts in an up-tempo contest. Turner should continue to produce tonight and is a solid play in the middle.∗∗∗

Mason Plumlee-Portland Trail Blazers (6,200): Plumlee is playing even better than Turner lately, but he’s a little risky because of his matchup with the Warriors tonight. Plumlee has at least 33 fantasy points in four straight after good games against the Lakers (19-13-3 for 46.75 fantasy points) and Grizzlies (13-10-3 for 33 fantasy points) in the Blazers last two games back in Portland. Last time Plumlee and Portland faced the Warriors,  he had 16-10-4 and three steals for over 40 fantasy points. He definitely can still produce in this matchup, but he’s a risk since the game could be a blowout or he could play limited minutes.∗∗

Marcin Gortat-Washington Wizards (5,800): Gortat gets a good matchup tonight against the Pelicans who are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season. Gortat looked good on Friday going for 44 fantasy points on 15-12-2 against the Hawks. Even more impressive, he put up those numbers in less than 30 minutes. Gortat has scored at least 12 poitns in four of his last five games and he should be able to get at least a low-grade double-double tonight based on the matchup.∗∗∗∗
