High Salary PF

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA at GS ($8,800): Aldridge has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. He had 49 fantasy points against the Warriors on Nov. 2. With the Spurs being shorthanded in their backcourt, expect them to use Aldridge to slow the game down. The Warriors are 18th against the position in their last 15 games. He’s delivered more often than not with Kawhi Leonard missing most of the season. He’ll need to deliver once again on Saturday if the Spurs hope to have any shot against the Warriors. ****

Ben Simmons, PHI vs LAC ($8,700): Simmons hit value once again on Friday despite limited minutes in a blowout victory over the Pelicans. He’s now been over value in four of his last five. His one miss was by less than once fantasy point. He had 43.4 fantasy points against the Clippers on Nov. 13. Whether you consider Simmons a point guard or power forward doesn’t matter in this matchup. The Clippers are 28th against power forwards in their last 15 games and 21st against point guards. Simmons should be back over 40 fantasy points once again on Saturday. ****

Dario Saric, PHI vs LAC ($7,100): Saric had 35 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Friday. He was a non-factor against the Clippers on Nov. 13, posting just 11.6 fantasy points in that matchup. Don’t expect him to struggle in that manner again given his recent play. He’s missed value just twice in the last month. He needs 30.2 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. Given his consistency and the matchup, he should be over 30 fantasy points once again in this one. ***
