Julius Randle, NBA Trade Deadline
Julius Randle, NBA Trade Deadline /

High Salary PF

Al Horford, BOS at WAS ($7,4000: Horford really struggled against the Raptors, posting 16 fantasy points in 24 minutes. The Wizards would love to attack him the same way and do have similar Swiss army defenders they can throw at the Celtics forward. Kevin Durant is listed as questionable. If he can play play, he is a better option than Horford, but at a much higher price. Horford had 36.25 fantasy points against Washington on Christmas. He should be around 30 fantasy points, but Irving’s return reduces his production. ***

Julius Randle, LAL vs OKC ($6,600): Unless something drastic changes on Thursday morning in Los Angeles, Randle should remain a member of the Lakers organization. He continues to play well for the Lakers as the starting forward, going over value in five straight. That includes a 35 fantasy point effort against the Thunder on Sunday. The Lakers are playing with some confidence right now and that confidence will grow after 3 p.m. ET when they’re still apart of the team. Randle should over value once again against Oklahoma City. ***

Michael Beasley, NY at TOR ($6,300): Beasley has missed value in four straight, but should easily bounce over value in this contest. Kristaps Porzingis is done for the season and Ends Kanter has been ruled out for Thursday. That leaves Beasley as the lone frontcourt player who can get buckets for New York. This is a tough matchup as the Raptors are 13th against power forwards in their last 15 games and have one of the better defenses in the league. But the circumstances dictate a big night for Beasley. ****
