High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO vs BKN ($11,200): Davis and DeMarcus Cousins continue to go back-and-forth on big games. It’s been Cousins in the last two, which means it must be Davis’ turn on Wednesday. The Nets are on a back-to-back and rank 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Davis is a points and rebounds machine who can also get it done with defensive numbers. I like Davis to have the 50+ fantasy point game for the Pelicans on Wednesday. ****

Kyle Kuzma, LAL vs MEM ($7,400): Kuzma has been hotter than just about any player in the league as late, hitting value in eight straight games. He’s been 10+ fantasy points better than value in six of those contests. He’s been inserted into the starting lineup and is playing 35+ minutes on a nightly basis. With Lonzo Ball out, the offense appears to be running through Kuzma. The return of Brandon Ingram may cut into his usage a bit, but Kuzma was posting big games alongside Ingram, so I wouldn’t be too worried about that. The Grizzlies are on a back-to-back and have played as bad as anyone in the league in the last month. ****

Draymond Green, GS vs UTA ($8,700): Green has hit value in two of his three games since returning from injury. In the one game he missed value, he missed by just 1.3 fantasy point. The Jazz got roughed up on Tuesday night and taking on a tough player like Green isn’t the most ideal situation in the world for them. He puts up solid numbers in all categories and helps his value with his defensive ability. ****
