High Salary PF

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA at OKC ($8,700): The Thunder are 20th against the position in their last 15 games. If Pau Gasol is ruled out, that means Aldridge will take on a bigger role offensively and has more rebounding chances. He had 54.4 fantasy points against the Warriors on Thursday and needs 36.9 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He’s been solid this season, hitting value in 66 percent of games. Some of those misses were due to injuries. He should be around 40 fantasy points on Saturday. ****

Tobias Harris, LAC vs ORL ($8,100): Harris had 37.4 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Friday. Both teams are on a back-to-back, so that’s of no concern. Plus, the Clippers are at home and are simply a better team than the Magic. Even if the Clippers are able to runaway with this game, Harris should have a strong scoring night for as long as he plays. He needs 34.3 fantasy points to hit value. He’ll push 40 fantasy points without much trouble. *****

JaMyChal Green, MEM at DAL ($5,800): Green is well under the average salary, but your options at this position are limited with Aaron Gordon injured. Carmelo Anthony is available for the same price, but Green has the better matchup and sees more opportunities for Memphis. If Marc Gasol is rested on the back-to-back, that greatly increases Green’s value. He wasn’t good against the Jazz on Friday, but nobody looks good against Utah right now. His struggles against the Bulls are more concerning. Proceed with caution when it comes to Green. ***
