High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at NY ($9,800): Towns has been over value in four of his last five. He had 53.25 fantasy points against the Clippers on Tuesday and posted 58.25 fantasy points against the Knicks on Jan. 12. The Knicks are 21st against centers in their last 15 games. Towns posts a monster usage rate and the Timberwolves have realized that he’s their best bet to win games late in the season. He should be over 50 fantasy points once again. *****

Jonas Valanciunas, TOR vs BKN ($6,800): Valanciunas barely missed value against the Cavaliers, finishing with 30 fantasy points. Technically, he’s missed value in three straight, but he wasn’t available in the main slate for two of those games. He needs 32 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. He had 48 fantasy points against the Nets on Mar. 13. The Nets get absolutely destroyed by opposing centers and Valanciunas is good enough to post a big scoring and rebounding game on them once again. ****

Enes Kanter, NY vs MIN ($6,300): The Timberwolves are 25th against centers in their last 15 games. Kanters produced 49.25 fantasy points in 31 minutes against the Heat on Wednesday. As long as he plays 25-plus minutes, you can count on him to deliver 30-plus fantasy points. He had 36 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Timberwolves on Jan. 12. This looks like a matchup where he’ll play big minutes, which means you can count on him for a big game. ****
