High Salary C

DeMarcus Cousins, NO at MIND ($11,200): Cousins missed value for the first time in seven games against Utah on Wednesday. Expect him to bounce back in this one. The Timberwolves are on a back-to-back and rank 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Cousins was held to 40 fantasy points against them on Nov. 29, but did manage 73.8 fantasy points on Nov. 1. He should acquire 50-plus fantasy points in this one as he’ll bully Karl-Anthony Towns. *****

Nikola Jokic, DEN at SAC ($9,700): Jokic has missed value in two straight and managed just 27 fantasy points on Friday against the Jazz. The Kings are 27th against the position in their last 15 games, so if Jokic is going to breakout of this mini-slump, this would be the game to do so. He had 41.3 fantasy points against Sacramento on Nov. 20. His rebounding has been consistent and he’s unlikely to score less than 10 points in two straight games. ****

Clint Capela, HOU at DET ($7,400): Capela has missed value in two of his last three, but with the way the Pistons looked on Friday, it tough not to think that the Rockets won’t trample all over them on Saturday. Capela is still a solid contributor in the points department thanks to his ability to finish easy baskets around the rim and remains the best rebounding option on Houston. ****
