High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at SA ($10,500): The Spurs are seventh against the position in their last 15 games, but Towns can be an unstoppable force when he wants to. He had 61.5 fantasy points against the Wizards on Tuesday. The Timberwolves should be well-rested for this one, assuming Tom Thibodeau didn’t have them doing three-a-days during this time off. Towns had 55.2 fantasy points against the Spurs on Nov. 15. He should push 50 fantasy points once again on Saturday. ****

Rudy Gobert, UTA vs SAC ($10,200): After his rare miss against the Grizzlies, Gobert has been over 40 fantasy points in three straight. He needs 44.8 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday as his salary has finally jumped over $10,000. That makes him a slightly less attractive option, but given his play and this matchup, 50 fantasy points are on the table. The only concern is a lack of big minutes. ****

Andre Drummond, DET at POR ($9,800): After missing value in four straight, Drummond posted 53.4 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Thursday. He needs 43 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday and had 52.9 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers on Feb. 5. The Blazers rank 16th against the position in their last 15 games. Drummond and the Pistons are wildly inconsistent, but this is a matchup he’s had success against and can dominate once again. ****
