High Salary C

Joel Embiid, PHI at CHA ($10,300): The Hornets are 27th against the potion in their last 15 games. Embiid posted 52 fantasy points against the Hornets last week and needs 46.4 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He completely neutralized Dwight Howard last week and should have similar success in this one. Expect a strong scoring and rebounding night for the Philadelphia center, plus a handful of defensive plays. ****

DeAndre Jordan, LAC vs NO ($7,900): The Pelicans are fourth against the position in their last 15 games. On paper, this is a tough matchup for Jordan, but he’s played well in recent contests and should provide enough scoring and rebounding to be over 40 fantasy points. He had 37.8 fantasy points against New Orleans on Jan. 28. Blake Griffin was in the lineup in that one, but DeMarcus Cousins was not. Jordan should see plenty of minutes as they’ll need someone to slow down Anthony Davis. ****

Steven Adams, OKC vs HOU ($7,000): Adams has missed value in his last three, but this is a great matchup for him and the Thunder know it. They also look to utilize Adams in against the smaller Rockets group. He had 39 fantasy points against Houston on Christmas Day. He needs 31.5 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. You never know what you’re going to get from the Thunder on a night-to-night basis, but you can always count on Adams to bring effort. ****
