High Salary C

Nikola Jokic – Denver Nuggets ($9600): He’s a center that gets triple-doubles and he’s playing a soft defense tonight. Jokic simply has to be considered for GPP tourneys even though he hasn’t produced very well against the Pels this year.

Anthony Davis – New Orleans Pelicans ($10400): This section is about to look familiar, as all of my high-priced power forward picks can also be played at center. Cousins might sit tonight and if that’s the case then I really like me some Brow against the Nuggets. He’s averaged just under 70 FP per game against Denver this year and had just five rebounds against them on Tuesday. That’s not going to happen again. It’s been ages since he had a game with single-digit rebound totals. Saddle up with Davis and expect big numbers from him tonight, with or without Boogie in the lineup.

Kevin Love – Cleveland Cavaliers ($7900): You can run Love at power forward or center, and he should feast on Atlanta tonight with Ersan Ilyasova drawing the start for Paul Millsap. He put up 50 FP in the only game he’s played against them this year, and with Tristan Thompson still out Love will once again be counted on to pull down about 15 rebounds. There is some blowout potential, but I think he’s a great play if you think Atlanta keeps it close.

Wille Cauley-Stein – Sacramento Kings ($6700): WCS is going to lay down the late-night hammer on the Lakers, and DFS players that roster him will have fun hurdling the players in front of them. The late-night hammer is always glorious. WCS has three straight double-doubles and three straight games of 30 or more FP. Tonight will be his first chance to see extended run against the Lakers and he’s going to love every minute of it.

James Johnson – Miami Heat ($6600): Johnson can be played at power forward or center and he’s a player who fills out the stat sheet almost every night. His usage crept back up when Dion Waiters went out, although Josh Richardson took some of that back. Johnson is still capable of putting up big numbers though, and at $6600 he probably gets close to value or better tonight.
