High Salary C

DeAndre Jordan, LAC at OKC ($8,400): If Steven Adams doesn’t play, that’s good new for DeAndre Jordan, who won’t have to contend with the strong Thunder center for rebounds. Jordan had 48.9 fantasy points against the Thunder on Jan. 4. He’s been up-and-down in recent contests and was slightly down on Thursday against the Rockets, finishing with 37.6 fantasy points. If Adams is out, expect Jordan over 40 fantasy points as he gets easy buckets inside and plenty of rebounds. ****

Jonas Valanciunas, TOR vs DAL ($7,400): Valanciunas had 51.4 fantasy points against the Pacers on Thursday. He’s now been over value in all but one game this month, the first game of the month against the Wizards. He’s dominating the paint and glass for the Raptors and until someone slows him down, you should keep adding him to your team. The Mavericks are 11th against the position in their last 15 games. Expect another big night from the Raptors center. ****

Brook Lopez, LAL vs MIA ($7,100): Lopez bounced back from his 22.6 fantasy point effort against the Nuggets with 36 fantasy points against the Warriors on Wednesday. He’s now been over value in six of his last seven. As long as he continues to play over 30 minutes a night, he’ll continue to produce in a big way. The Heat are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. With Hassan Whiteside out, that gives Lopez more room to maneuver. ****
