High Salary C

Nikola Jokic, DEN at CHI ($10,500): The Bulls are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Jokic has been over value in three straight and is coming off a 54.5 fantasy point performance against the Heat on Monday. He’s doing everything he can do keep Denver’s playoff hopes alive, at least on the offensive end. He needs 46.4 fantasy points to reach value in this one. He should make his way to 50 fantasy points given the matchup and desperation in Denver. ****

DeAndre Jordan, LAC at MIL ($7,700): Jordan had 41.9 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. The Bucks are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Jordan has been up-and-down in recent contests, but the matchup is a good one for Jordan. Neither team offers much in terms of defense and if there are missed Jordan will be the guy to grab the rebound on both ends of the floor. He should be over 40 fantasy points. ****

Jonas Valanciunas, TOR at CLE ($7,500): Valanciunas missed value against the Magic on Tuesday, finishing with 26.6 fantasy points. It marked the second straight game where he was under 30 fantasy points. He needs 33.2 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. It’s possible that he’s now regressing to the mean, but give him one more shot against the Cavaliers. This is a game the Raptors will get up for and Cleveland has no one who can really handle Valanciunas in the paint. ***
