High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO vs LAC ($11,700): Davis needs 50.4 fantasy points to hit value. With DeMarcus Cousins out, this is now Davis’s team once again. He had 55.5 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. I have full confidence in Davis stepping up and posting monster stat lines in the absence of Cousins. He should be over 50 fantasy points and then some. *****

Blake Griffin, LAC at NO ($8,700): The Pelicans are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Griffin has missed value in his last two, but should have an easier time against the Pelicans with the injury to Cousins. He should provide plenty of scoring and rebounding in this contest, likely going over 40 fantasy points. ****

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs SAC ($9,100): Aldridge was a bust against the Sixers, posting 23.6 fantasy point sin that contest. He’s been under 25 fantasy points in two of his last three. He’s averaging 39.2 fantasy points in two games against the Kings this season. He should be over 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Ben Simmons, PHI vs OKC ($8,500): The Thunder are first against the position in their last 15 games. However, Simmons is not your normal power forward and I don’t expect the Thunder defense to be into things with Andre Roberson out of the lineup. Simmons should be able to get his own scoring numbers, while finding teammates for easy points as well. *****
