High Salary C
Andre Drummond, DET at BKN ($10,700): Drummond is coming off a 52.25 fantasy point performance against the Knicks on Saturday. With Blake Griffin out of the lineup, he’s collecting all the rebounds and getting his usual scoring numbers. The Nets are a great matchup as they rank last against centers in their last 15 games. Drummond posted 64.75 fantasy points against them on Feb. 7 and has been over 60 fantasy points in two of three games against Brooklyn this year. Expect another big game out of Drummond on Sunday. *****
Nikola Jokic, DEN vs MIL ($9,400): Jokic followed up his 68.5 fantasy point effort against the Raptors with 58 fantasy points against the Thunder on Friday. He had 82.25 fantasy points against the Bucks on Feb. 15. In his last three games against Milwaukee, he’s averaging 64.7 fantasy points, going over 50 fantasy points in all three contests. It’s a matchup he’s feasted on and there’s no reason to think it won’t happen again. *****
Jusuf Nurkic, POR vs MEM ($6,800): Nurkic posted 53 fantasy points against the Clippers on Friday. He had 36.5 fantasy points against the Grizzlies earlier this week, but Damian Lillard didn’t play in that one. Obviously, Lillard makes his life much easier. The Grizzlies are fifth against the position in their last 15 games, but it’s possible that Marc Gasol misses this game. If that’s the case, Nurkic will have a much easier time on both ends of the floor. With or without Gasol, expect him around value. But it could be a big night if Gasol is out. ****
ES: LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs HOU ($8,900)
