High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at DAL ($10,100): Towns probably won’t get you 86.25 fantasy points like he did on Wednesday against the Hawks, but who knows. Maybe he spent Thursday night playing online games with Ben Simmons. If that’s the case, just assume he’ll go over 100 fantasy points against the Mavericks. He needs 48.2 fantasy points to reach value on Friday and had 54 fantasy points against them on Dec. 10. He’s the top option with Jimmy Butler out and should continue to deliver monster performances against weaker teams. *****

Steven Adams, OKC vs DEN ($7,200): Adams had 28.25 fantasy points against the Spurs on Thursday. The Nuggets are 30th against centers in their last 15 games. It was a rough shooting night for Adams and Russell Westbrook finished with just five assists. That’s probably good news for Adams on Friday as Westbrook typically comes out and gets his teammates involved when his assist numbers are down in the previous game. The matchup is good and the circumstances line up well for Adams to produce. ***

Jusuf Nurkic, POR vs LAC ($6,500): Nurkic is coming off a 36.5 fantasy point performance against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. He’s been 10-plus fantasy points over value in four of his last six games. The Clippers are seventh against centers in their last 15 games, but Nurkic has done very well against them this season. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in his last tow games against the Clippers, including a 41.5 fantasy point performance on Mar. 18. Expect him to push 40 fantasy points once again. ****
