High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at LAL ($10,000): Towns was a slight miss on Thursday, finishing with 44.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Fouling out late in the game didn’t help. He’s averaging 42.2 fantasy points in 33 minutes against the Lakers this season. 33 minutes is on the low end for Towns given how much Tom Thibodeau typically plays his guys. He needs 43.8 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. He should be back over value in this one. ****

Dwight Howard, CHA at ORL ($8,700): The Magic are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Howard is coming off a 50.9 fantasy point effort against the Bulls on Wednesday. He had 45.6 fantasy points against the Magic on Feb. 14 and needs 38.1 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. The Hornets look like a team ready to go golfing, but the matchup is a good one for Howard and he typically brings it against his former teams. ****

Kyle O’Quinn, NY vs MIA ($6,800): O’Quinn has been great in his two games as a starter, posting 31.5 fantasy points against the Pistons and 40.9 fantasy points against the Magic. His salary has jumped to where he needs 29.8 fantasy points to reach value against the Heat. Enes Kanter is unlikely to play while Michael Beasley will be a game-time call. If neither can go once again, O’Quinn will be over 30 fantasy points. ****
