High Salary PF
Anthony Davis, NO vs HOU ($11,500): The Rockets are second against power forwards in their last 15 games. Davis was held to just 44 fantasy points against the Spurs on Thursday. Despite that, his salary remains unchanged and he needs 52 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He had 59.25 fantasy points against the Rockets on Jan. 26. The Rockets have a stout defense, but don’t have anyone to check Davis, not that any team really does. Expect a bounce back performance from Davis on Saturday as he goes over 50 fantasy points. *****
Draymond Green, GS at PHO ($8,800): With the Warriors missing three other All-Stars, the show belongs to Green right now. He’s not a big scorer, but he runs the entire Golden State offense, which doesn’t operate at quite the same level without the two best offensive players in the league. Still, someone has to score, assist, rebound, and play defense for the Warriors. And Green is the only person capable of doing so at a high level right now. *****
Harrison Barnes, DAL at BKN ($6,600): Barnes had 39.25 fantasy points against the Raptors on Friday. He needs 29.25 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. The only concern here is the back-to-back. He’s missed value in his last three back-to-back contests, but those were in games against the Rockets, Jazz, and the Rockets again. Safe to say, Brooklyn is not on the level of either of those teams. He should be over 35 fantasy points. ****
