High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins, NO vs PHI ($12,000): After going weeks without a 50+ fantasy point game, Cousins has been at 55+ fantasy points in three straight. However, two of those games were without Davis. We know Cousins can get his numbers with Davis alongside of him, but sharing the balls means less opportunity to do so. Joel Embiid won’t make things easy on him, but Cousins is the best center in the league for a reason. The Sixers are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. ***

Andre Drummond, DET vs BOS ($9,500): The Celtics have the top defense in the league and rank first against the position in their last 15 games. But Drummond dominated them to the tune of 70.4 fantasy points back on Nov. 27. In his last five games against Boston, Drummond is averaging 51.8 fantasy points. He’s recent success should alleviate any concerns you may have about picking him up for your squad. Rebounds are not a problem and the Pistons will likely keep him involved offensively throughout. ****

Enes Kanter, NY vs ATL ($7,000): Kanter needs 30.1 fantasy points to his value. He’s been below that number in three straight, but he hasn’t played the Hawks in any of those games. The Hawks rank 25th against the position in their last 15 games and have struggled keeping players out of the paint and off the glass. Kanter is one of the best low-post scorers and rebounders in the league and I think he’s in for a huge night against a Hawks squad that are still searching for consistent replacements for Collins and Dedmon. *****
