High Salary PF

Kristaps Porzingis – New York Knicks ($7400): Taps has averaged about 43 FP per game against Detroit this season, and he had 45 against them in their last game. He is at home tonight, and he does shoot it at a better percentage in New York. We also don’t if Carmelo will play, so Taps could be in for a huge usage night. With Anthony Davis up against Utah, Porzingis is my top high-priced power forward tonight.

Kevin Love – Cleveland Cavaliers ($7300): The minutes are there now for Love as he played 33 in the loss to Washington. Love couldn’t find his shot against the tough San Antonio defense in the first game, but it will be interesting to see how he does tonight. At some point you know Love will drop a 50+ plus game, and while the Spurs don’t seem like the right opponent, not many will be surprised if he does.

LaMarcus Aldridge – San Antonio Spurs ($7000): Aldridge and Love have played against each other many times from when both dominated the Western Conference, and he had 45 FP against them in the overtime game earlier in the season. Aldridge is always a good bet to hit value and I think he likes to go up against Love in the post. Expect 6x or better from LaMarcus tonight.

Serge Ibaka – Orlando Magic ($6100): Does the revenge factor come into play against teams you barely played for? Ibaka was on the Magic for a short spell this year, and I like him tonight mostly because of the matchup, not because of the revenge factor. Ibaka has had a March to forget fantasy-wise, and he eclipsed 30 FP for the first time in eight games on Saturday against Dallas. He’s been getting a steady dose of double-digit shot attempts, and a team like Orlando is one where he can have a greater impact on the boards.
