High Salary C

DeAndre Jordan, LAC at NO ($8,000): Jordan has missed value in four straight. He needs 35.1 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He had 33.8 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Nov. 11. I don’t love the way Jordan is playing right now, but the absence of Cousins should provide him with easier points and rebounds. I think he’s in for a big afternoon on Sunday. ****

Clint Capela, HOU vs PHO ($7,800): Capela had 19 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Friday. He should have an easier time on Sunday against the Suns. He’s averaging 39.4 fantasy points in two games against Phoenix this season. He should get easy points and rebounds in this one. Even if he doesn’t play big minutes, he should get you a minimum of 35 fantasy points. ****

Andre Drummond, DET at CLE ($10,800): The Cavaliers are second against the position in their last 15 games. The Pistons are also on a back-to-back. With the lineup change and Tristan Thompson now starting at center, I don’t like Drummond quite as much. However, I still don’t trust the Cavaliers defense and Drummond represents the best option on the Pistons. **

Joel Embiid, PHI at OKC ($10,000): Embiid has missed value in four straight. He had 51.6 fantasy points against the Thunder on Dec. 15. Maybe he’ll get 32 shots in this game to match Westbrook’s 32 shots from that game? I think Embiid is in for a big night as the Thunder have a letdown on the back-to-back. ****
