High Salary C

Andre Drummond, DET at SAC ($8,900): The Kings are 25th against centers in their last 15 games. Drummond had 53.75 fantasy points against them way back on Nov. 4 and has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. The Pistons haven’t looked all that great on the road trip, but the Kings are the best matchup they’ll face thus far. Drummond should be able to post big scoring and rebounding numbers against an overmatched Sacramento squad. *****

Nikola Jokic, DEN at MIA ($8,800): Jokic has been over value in three of his last four and is coming off a 48.5 fantasy point effort against the Grizzlies on Saturday. Despite that performance, his salary has dropped to where he needs 41.4 fantasy points to reach value on Monday. The Heat are 24th against centers in their last 15 games. He’s a triple-double threat on any night and has been making an impact on the defensive end in his last couple of games. He should be over value once again as the Nuggets are desperate for a win. ****

Julius Randle, LAL at IND ($8,300): Randle has been over value in four straight. You can count on Randle to deliver just about every night as he’s been at value or over in 74 percent of games in which he’s started. The Pacers are 17th against power forwards in their last 15 games. Brook Lopez and Kyle Kuzma are both listed as probable, but if one or both are unable to play, that’s going to increase Randle’s usage. With or without them, he’ll be over value once again. ****
