High Salary PF

Harrison Barnes – Dallas Mavericks ($6,400) :  HB is the only other option besides Serge Ibaka at a salary of over $6K for the power forward position, and he’s also available to be played at SF. As we mentioned before, Barnes is fairly steady and occasionally busts out for a big game of 40 FP or more, but he relies too much on scoring to consistently post big numbers. I’ve listed him here because of the lack of big money options at PF and his favorable matchup tonight, but expect more of a solid performance than a spectacular one.

Serge Ibaka – Orlando Magic ($6,200) : Ibaka is the only other PF over $6K tonight, and although he now resides in the Eastern Conference, he is certainly very familiar with the Rockets from his time in OKC. He put up a double-double against Houston this year, and he recently strung together three games of 40 FP or more. He had a game to forget against Atlanta last weekend, playing just 24 minutes and posting only 10 FP. I like him better than Barnes here because he’s up against Ryan Anderson, which almost undoubtedly ensures he will get double-digits on the glass. Houston vs. Orlando also has the highest point total of the night, so I like the chances that Ibaka gets back to a 35 or 40 FP night.
