High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO vs HOU ($12,400): The Rockets are sixth against the position in their last 15 games, but Anthony Davis is Anthony Davis. He was held to 40.8 fantasy points against the Spurs, but he’s too good to struggling in the same manner on Saturday. He had 61.7 fantasy points against the Rockets on Jan. 26. He needs 53.7 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He should be over 50 fantasy points and with his talent, 60-plus fantasy points is not out of the question. *****

Draymond Green, GS at PHO ($7,800): Green had 50.5 fantasy points against the Kings on Friday. With Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson out, everything runs through Green in Golden State. He’s not the scorer that the other three are, but he’s a reliable player who posts numbers in all categories. Given the matchup, he should flirt with another triple-double, boosting his value with his defense. ****

Bobby Portis, CHI vs CLE ($7,000): Portis has been over value in three straight. Despite the injury to Lauri Markkanen, Portis has been coming off the bench for the Bulls. He’s still playing at least 25 minutes a night and if Noah Vonleh can’t play on Saturday, Portis will likely be the starter. The Cavaliers have tired legs form this road trip and are down useful frontcourt players right now. Portis has the ability to hurt them in multiple scoring areas and on the glass. He should be over 30 fantasy points in this one. ****
