High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO at BOS ($11,000): Davis had a season-high 85.4 fantasy points against the Knicks on Saturday. The Celtics are 10th against the position in their last 15 games. You know what Davis is capable of, but this one could be a dogfight given the Celtics defense. Davis has been over value in seven of his last eight, which shows strong recent play. Your power forward options are extremely limited on Tuesday and Davis is by far the top play. I like him to be around value (46.7 fantasy points) given his talent. Davis and DeMarcus Cousins could dominate if the Celtics come out flat. ***

Aaron Gordon, ORL vs MIN ($7,500): The Timberwolves are first against the position in their last 15 games. To make matter worse for Gordon, his recent performances are less than impressive. He did hit value against the Wizards, contributing 32.5 fantasy points. Prior to that, he had 16.3 fantasy points against the Bucks and came off the bench against the Mavericks. Someone has to score for Orlando and Gordon is their best all-around option. **
