High Salary PF

Blake Griffin, DET vs ATL ($9,000): Griffin had 41.4 fantasy points against the Hawks on Sunday. That number would put him over value on Wednesday as he needs 38.6 fantasy points to be at value. The Hawks are on a back-to-back and rank 28th against the position in their last 15 games. It’s a matchup that is good on paper and one he’s had recent success against. He may not have a huge game, but he’ll get you at least 40 fantasy points. ***

Ben Simmons, PHI vs MIA ($8,900): Simmons has been over value in four straight. He had 43.7 fantasy points against the Heat on Feb. 2. The Heat are on a back-to-back and had a tough game against the Raptors on Tuesday. He needs 38.1 fantasy points to hit value on Wednesday. He should be over 40 fantasy points again. Despite heavy action on Wednesday, there aren’t too many high salary options available. Simmons is a reliable play if nothing else. ***

Nikola Mirotic, NO vs LAL ($7,500): Mirotic has been hit and miss as a member of the Pelicans. He’s hit in his last two games, posting 61.7 fantasy points against the Nets and 39.9 fantasy points against the Pistons. He came off the bench against Detroit, which could be his role moving forward. He needs 32.1 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. The Lakers are 16th against the position in their last 15 games. This should be a high scoring afraid and Mirotic will do his part of contributing. ***
