High Salary C

Nikola Jokic, DEN vs IND ($10,700): Jokic has ramped up his game recently, going over 55 fantasy points in his last three contests. He needs 46.9 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He has played the Pacers this season, but did average 51.5 fantasy points against them in two games last season. The Pacers are a much different squad, but Myles Turner does remain a constant in their frontcourt. Jokic’s recent play inspires plenty of confidence for how he’ll performance on Tuesday. Expect him to push 50 fantasy points once again. ****

Dwight Howard, CHA at CHI ($8,900): The Bulls are 27th against the position in their last 15 games. Howard is one of the more inconsistent players in the league, but we know what he’s capable of and the matchup is a great one for him on Tuesday. He had 45.7 fantasy points against them on Feb. 27 and a monster 71 fantasy point effort back on Dec. 8. He needs 39 fantasy points to reach value in this contest. Trust the matchup and Howard’s ability to put up monster scoring and rebounding efforts. ****

Steven Adams, OKC vs GS ($7,200): Adams has been up-and-down in his last four games. He’s coming off a down performance, posting 24.5 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Sunday. But this is a matchup he’s done well against all season. He’s averaging 34.1 fantasy points in three games against the Warriors this season, including 37.9 fantasy points in the Feb. 24 game where no one on the Thunder played well. He should be around 35 fantasy points in this one with a chance at a big scoring and rebounding night. ****
