High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (11,300): Boogie had his roll come to an abrupt stop on Tuesday night in Houston. After rolling up 60 fantasy points in three of his previous four games, he only managed 16-7-5 for 29.9 fantasy points in limited playing time in the blowout. It has been a while since the Kings were at home where Cousins typically does his best work. He had 25-12-10 for 53.4 in his last home game and hat a least 50 points in five of his last six games before his letdown in Houston. After a couple days off, though, and back in front of his home fans I think Cousins will destroy the Suns tonight who are allowing the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers over their last five games.∗∗∗∗

Andre Drummond-Detroit Pistons (8,500): Drummond going head-to-head with Karl-Anthony Towns should be a great mathchup to watch tonight. While Towns is a good play as well, I’m in on Boogie instead. Drummond was a disappointment Wednesday with just 17-6-0 for 28.2 fantasy points but had over 50 fantasy points in each of his previous two games before that. He also had a monster 22-22-0 game against the Timberwolves in their earlier meeting this season making him my favorite elite, four-figure play.∗∗∗∗

Nikola Vucevic-Orlando Magic (7,200): When the Magic and Raptors met on Sunday, Vucevic racked up 25-10-5 and four blocks for a monster 52.5 fantasy points. In his two games since then, Vucevic hasn’t been quite as good but still managed 33.7 fantasy points (13-11-5) and 41.5 fantasy points (15-15-5). He contributes across all offensive categories and I like his  matchup tonight, so give him a look at this price.∗∗∗

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (6,700): My man Myles didn’t get much going against Vucevic and the Magic with only 11-3-3 for 23.1 fantasy points on Wednesday snapping a streak of four straight games with 30 fantasy points or more. He feasted on Brooklyn the last time he took on the Nets posting 25-15-0 and five blocks to power my FanDuel daily picks to a big win with 55 fantasy points back on January 5. Turner’s matchup gives him an extremely high ceiling although he is still a little riskier than the other high-salary centers listed.∗∗
