High Salary PF
Draymond Green – Golden State Warriors ($8100): Draymond has averaged 52 FP per game over two contests this season against Houston, and he missed a triple-double by one assist in one of those games. He obviously loves the matchup and the pace will be fast tonight with a ton of fantasy points there for the taking. I love Draymond tonight.
Karl-Anthony Towns – Minnesota Timberwolves ($10100): I like to play big men against Indiana because they are a weak rebounding team and they aren’t that good defensively. Towns is one of the best big men in the league and he’s coming off a poor outing against Portland. The pace for this game isn’t the greatest, but I think Towns will have every opportunity to post a huge number.
Paul George – Indiana Pacers ($8400): As I noted earlier, George had posted consecutive 50+ FP games before settling on 34.5 against Philly in his last outing. He scored 32 points against the Timberwolves earlier this season, a game in which he ended up with 46.5 FP. George has been hitting the boards and picking up steals on the regular, and Minnesota allows opposing teams to shoot it at a high percentage. The salary seems a bit pricey, but if he drops a 50-burge on them he will be worth it.
Robert Covington – Philadelphia 76ers ($6800): Covington can be played at either small or power forward, and he has a super-spicy matchup against Brooklyn tonight, and it should be a tight game where there will be a ton of fantasy points available. Covington has averaged just about 35 FP per game against the Nets this season, but expect a looser defense tonight and a bigger total for the Sixers swingman.
