High Salary PF

Draymond Green, GS vs OKC ($8,300): Green is currently listed as probable with shoulder soreness. Assume he will play, but check his status before making any decisions. He’s been over value in four straight contests. Like everyone else on the Warriors, he doesn’t done well against the Thunder this season, averaging 31.5 fantasy points in the two games. He needs 36.1 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. The Thunder seem to limit him better than just about any other team in the league, but Green’s contributions across the board is tough to ignore. He’ll have a solid game, but could miss value once again. ***

Bobby Portis, CHI at MIN ($6,900): Portis has been over value in three straight, including 49.6 fantasy points against the Sixers. He’s outplaying Lauri Makkanen right now, although that could swap in any moment. The Timberwolves are on a back-to-back and will likely be without their best player. Portis had 20.8 fantasy points in 23 minutes against the Timberwolves on Feb. 9. He should play more minutes in this one. He needs 30 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He’s playing great right not, but proceed with caution. ***

Dwight Powell, DAL at UTA ($6,300): Powell managed just 18 fantasy points against the Lakers on Friday as the Mavericks looked dreadful. Los Angeles nightlife remains undefeated. This isn’t exactly an easy matchup for him to bounce back against. He’s well under the average player salary, but that just goes to show your lack of options on Saturday. The Jazz are second against the position in their last 15 games. Powell did manage 28 fantasy points in 25 minutes the last time these two teams met, but that was way back in October. He’s definitely a risk. **
