High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO at MIN ($11,200): Davis has been at value or better in three of his last four and has his 60-plus fantasy points in two of those contests. He had 55 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Nov. 1 and 21 fantasy points in 18 minutes against them on Nov. 29. He’s a points and rebounds monster who can also chip in with defensive plays. With the Timberwolves on a back-to-back, Davis should be able to do plenty of damage. ****

Draymond Green, GS at LAC ($8,500): Green is listed as a game-time decision, but he’s marked as probable, which is a good sign for his status. He had 42.8 fantasy points against the Clippers on Oct. 30. He shines in these matchups against opposing elite big men such as Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. If Kevin Durant is out once again, Green should be able to boost his rebounding and assist numbers. If he’s out, look for Blake Griffin to have a better game than expected. ****

Aaron Gordon, ORL vs CLE ($7,900): The Cavaliers are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. If Kevin Love is out for the Cavaliers, that makes Gordon’s job that much easier as he’ll have less competition on the boards. He’s been more miss than hit this season, hitting value in just 47 percent of games. This one projects as a high scoring affair and Gordon is best scoring option for the Magic. ***
