High Salary C

Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans (10,500): Davis has played 40 minutes in each of the Pelicans last two games and has posted 70.75 and 53.25 fantasy points against the Wizards and Raptors. As the Pelicans continue to work their way through some Eastern Conference foes, Davis will take on the Pistons and Andre Drummond tonight in what should be a very entertaining matchup to watch.∗∗

Andre Drummond-Detroit Pistons (7,900): Drummond is coming off a monster game on Monday against Monster and is in a great matchup tonight against New Orleans (who played OT last night). Drummond had 69 fantasy points on 28-22-3 against Boston after a solid 17-20-1 for 54.5 fantasy points against Miami on Saturday. He has been a regular double-double threat when he plays big minutes, but he has posted a few duds where game situation or fouls have limited his minutes. The Pelicans have been beaten up down low all season, and Drummond is in a great place to attack their tired legs at home tonight at The Palace.∗∗∗∗

Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,800): Gasol has posted back-to-back games with 33.5 and 35 fantasy points which aren’t really enough to make him worth this salary. Before that, though, he had run off six straight games with over 42 fantasy points, though, including 31.25 fantasy points and 57.5 fantasy points against the Blazers and Raptors. Tonight, he’ll take on the Nuggets who will be short-handed up front with Nikola Jokic unlikely to return. ∗∗∗

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (6,800): The Pacers have gotten solid play for most of the season from sophomore Myles Turner who had 23-12-3 for over 45 fantasy points against tonight’s opponent, Orlando, in their last meeting. He had only been over 40 fantasy points twice since that game until Sunday when he posted 18-10-0 with four blocks and three steals for 45.5 fantasy points. He has over 31 fantasy points in four straight now, and is a good play in this matchup. I prefer him to Vucevic just because of his upside although he does cost a few hundred more.∗∗∗∗

Nikola Vucevic-Orlando Magic (6,500): Vucevic is still affordably priced despite posting 35+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. His best game during that stretch came in Toronto on Sunday when he had 25-10-5 and four blocks for 57 fantasy points. He gets a good matchup against Indiana tonight who he had 18-11-1 against back on New Year’s Day.∗∗∗
