High Salary PF

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs UTA ($8,600): The Jazz are a tough matchup who rank first against power forwards in their last 15 games. But Aldridge is not to be denied right now. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in his last three contests. He did post 51.25 fantasy points against the Jazz on Feb. 3. He’s a one-man wrecking crew in San Antonio right now. The Jazz will do everything they can to stop him, but Aldridge continues to get it done. ****

Kevin Love, CLE vs PHO ($7,700): Love has been over value in both games since returning from injury. He posted 49 fantasy points against the Raptors on Wednesday. Perhaps more importantly, he played 30 minutes in that contest. He may not need to play 30 minutes against the Suns, but should do enough to push 40 fantasy points in this one. He’s a trustworthy option next to LeBron and he chips in with rebounds and assists. *****

Kelly Olynyk, MIA at OKC ($6,800): Olynyk has been over value in ten straight. His salary has reached a season high and he needs 31.2 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. The bottom is going to drop out on Olynyk as some point, but he’s getting big minutes and post a a 30 percent usage rate in his last five games. It’s a tough matchup as the Thunder are seventh against power forwards in their last 15 games. But Olynyk’s play can’t be denied right now. ***
