High Salary PF

Draymond Green, GS vs BOS ($7,700): Green has missed value in his last two and had 35 fantasy points against the Celtics on Nov. 16. He needs 34.1 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He’s missed value in three of his last four home games and has struggled at home all season, hitting value in just 60 percent of games. I expect him to bring it against the Celtics, getting his usual solid offensive numbers to go along with a defensive play or two. Al Horford playing makes me like Green a bit more because he has that personal one-on-one matchup. ***

Otto Porter Jr., WAS at ATL ($6,300): Porter Jr. has been up-and-down in recent contests. He hit value against the Thunder, contributing 28 fantasy points in that contest. He’s struggled from the field and hasn’t done quite enough in other areas to make up that value. He needs 27.7 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He had 31.75 fantasy points against the Hawks on Dec. 27. The Hawks are seventh against the position in their last 15 games. It’s a tough matchup and I’m not in love with Porter Jr’s play in recent games, but Atlanta is on a back-to-back. ***

Al Horford, BOS at GS ($7,100): After missing Thursday’s game against the Clippers, Horford is expected to play against the Warriors. Check his status before making any decisions. He had 43.5 fantasy points against the Lakers on Wednesday. He had 33.75 fantasy points against the Warriors on Nov. 16. That number would put him just over value on Saturday. The Warriors are 29th against centers in their last 15 games, but fifth against power forwards. ***
