High Salary PF
Anthony Davis, NO vs OKC ($11,100): It was an off-night for Davis against the Cavaliers as he managed just 36 fantasy points on Friday. He was held to 16 points, which was surprising given the Cavaliers defense. Don’t expect the same outcome on Sunday. Davis had been over 60 fantasy points in both games against the Thunder this season and has historically dominated Oklahoma City. He needs 50.3 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. Expect him to push 60 fantasy points and don’t be surprised if he has one of those insane 80-plus fantasy point efforts. *****
Julius Randle, LAL vs SAC ($8,300): Randle has been right at value in his last two games and continues to play consistent basketball as the starter in Los Angeles. With Brandon Ingram out once again, Randle’s role will increase. He needs 37.6 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. In two games as the starter against Sacramento, he’s averaging 46.1 fantasy points. He should make his way over 40 fantasy points without much issue in this contest. ****
Kevin Love, CLE vs DAL ($7,700): Love played 24 minutes against the Pelicans, finishing with 22 fantasy points on Friday. Minutes are a bit of a concern with Love right now as it looks like the Cavaliers are being cautious with him due to his injury issues. But the matchup is so good that minutes might now matter. He’s been over 55 fantasy points in his last two games against Dallas, including 56 fantasy points in 29 minutes against Dallas last season. You might like someone who is guaranteed more minutes like Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, but if Love plays 30-plus minutes, he’s going to deliver a big game. ****
