High Salary PF

Karl-Anthony Towns-Minnesota Timberwolves (10,600): Towns has posted double-doubles in 17 of his last 18 games and continues to be a very consistent producer for Minnesota. He had 23-12-7 and three blocks for 54 fantasy points against the Magic on Monday and has at least that many fantasy points in five of his last six. The Cavs have been pretty good against opposing centers this season, but Towns has proven to be pretty close to matchup-proof.∗∗∗

Nerlens Noel-Philadelphia 76ers (6,200): Noel has been getting extra run lately has been the Sixers’ Nerlens Noel who has helped fill in for the absence of Joel Embiid by both starting or coming of the bench behind Jahlil Okafor. Noel has scored at least 12 points in four of his last five games and has 32+ fantasy points in three of those six contests. He’ll get a tough matchup tonight against the Mavericks, but he’s been playing well enough lately that I still think he’s slightly safer than Randolph or Ibaka if you’re spending around 6K.∗∗∗

Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,100): Ibaka had his first double-double in a while while logging 38 minutes against Minnesota on Monday. He finished that game with 17-10-2 with a pair of blocks for 40.5 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll try to reach 30 fantasy points again like he did the last time he faced the Pacers with 17-6-1 on New Year’s Day. Ibaka has been boom-or-bust lately, but the matchup is enough to make him intriguing.∗∗

Zach Randolph-Memphis Grizzlies (6,000): Randolph has six six straight games in double figures after his 18-6-0 for 27.5 fantasy points against the Suns on Sunday. He has at least that many fantasy points in five of his last six games including big games against the Blazers (17-13-3, 40.75 fantasy points) and Jazz (28-9-1, 42.25 fantasy points). Playing at altitude and with JaMychal Green available could limit Z-Bo’s minutes tonight, but he has a lot of upside at this price and continues to play well for Memphis.∗∗
