High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO vs PHO ($11,300): I have a love/hate relationship with Davis in DFS, as his injury absences tend to burn my teams regularly. But with that said, his production when he plays is so strong that it is hard to stay away from him. Since his last injury-shortened game, he has averaged 25.2 points, 15.6 boards, 2.4 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals with 3.8 turnovers and five straight double-doubles in his last five outings. On Monday he faces a Suns team that struggles against opposing bigs, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to centers and the second-most to power forwards over the last 10 games. ****

Blake Griffin, LAC at TOR ($9200): Griffin will be in the second half of a back-to-back on Monday, but so will his opponents the Raptors. Griffin has scored 20 or more points in four straight outings, and seems to be all the way back from his knee injury with averages of 25.8 points, 7.0 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.0 combined steals/blocks and 2.5 turnovers over that stretch. The Raptors have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to power forwards over the last 10 games. ****

Kevin Love, CLE at WAS ($7600): Love’s price dropped a bit while he was battling a back injury over the last week, but he returned to full production-level on Saturday with 23 points and 16 boards against the Knicks. On Monday he takes a relatively modest (for him) price tag into Washington to face a Wizards defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to power forwards over the last 10 games. ****

Markieff Morris, WAS vs CLE ($7200): Markieff Morris has been clockwork-production for quite awhile now. Through 18 games in 2017, Morris has averaged 17 points, 8.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.8 combined steals/blocks and only 1.0 turnovers to date. On Monday he will face a Cavaliers defense that has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to power forwards over the last 10 games. ***
