High Salary C
Clint Capela, HOU vs PHO ($7,100): Capela missed value against the Pelicans, posting 20.5 fantasy points in that contest. He’s averaging 40 fantasy points in two games against Phoenix this season. He needs 33 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. Given the matchup, Capela should be able to push 40 fantasy points in this one. *****
DeAndre Jordan, LAC at NO ($6,700): Jordan missed value against the Grizzlies and now his salary has dropped by $500. He needs 31.1 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He had 34.5 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Nov. 11. He should exceed 30 fantasy points given New Orleans lack of the best center in the league. ****
Andre Drummond, DET at CLE ($9,900): The Cavaliers are second against the position in their last 15 games. But Drummond is a walking double-double and that should be no different on Sunday. He needs 46 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. It might be tough sledding for the Pistons center, but he has the highest ceiling of any center on Sunday. ***
Joel Embiid, PHI at OKC ($9,300): Embiid has missed value in four straight. He had 53.5 fantasy points against the Thunder on Dec. 15. His salary has dipped to where he needs 43.2 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. I like him to deliver 45-plus fantasy points given the circumstances. ****
