High Salary PF

Ben Simmons, PHI vs BKN ($9,900): Simmons has been over 50 fantasy points in his last two games, including 66.1 fantasy points against the Hornets on Sunday. He’s putting up big numbers, but his minutes aren’t high as the Sixers keep handling business without much trouble. They should handle business easily on Tuesday, which is why Simmons is not so much of a sure thing. But with Joel Embiid out and Dario Saric potentially out, there’s no denying Simmons’ place on the Sixers right now. He’s contributing in all areas and the matchup is fantastic. He’ll do damage for as long as he plays, there’s just worry that he won’t play enough. ****

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA at LAC ($9,400): Aldridge is coming off a 50.8 fantasy point performance against the Rockets on Sunday. Aside from a game against Washington where he left early due to injury, he’s been absolutely amazing over the last couple of weeks, routinely going over 50 fantasy points. He needs 41.5 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. Keep taking him until someone finds a way to stop him. *****

Paul Millsap, DEN vs IND ($7,100): The Nuggets are fighting for their playoff lives and Millsap knows what it takes to make the playoffs. He followed up his 48.8 fantasy point effort against the Thunder with 51.1 fantasy points against the Bucks. He needs 31.4 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. This one should be a high scoring affair given the respective offenses and defenses of both squads. Expect him over 40 fantasy points once again. ****
