High Salary C

Dwight Howard, CHA vs IND ($9,700): The Pacers are 22nd against centers in their last 15 games. Howard has been over 40 fantasy points in three of his last four. At this point in his career, when nothing is on the line, you can count on Howard to produce. Expect another big night as the Pacers don’t have the compete level to care at the moment. ****

Al Horford, BOS vs ATL ($7,300): Horford is scheduled to play after resting on Friday, but will likely be on a minutes restriction. Even when he’s played 30-plus minutes, he hasn’t been the most reliable option this season. The matchup is good, but lack of minutes makes him a risky option at this salary. **

Rudy Gobert, UTA at LAL ($7,900): Gobert is coming off a 39 fantasy point effort against the Clippers on Thursday. He had 48.5 fantasy points against the Lakers on Tuesday and needs 36.7 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He’ll post at least a double-double in this one and should play at least 30 minutes as the Jazz are still fighting for a playoff spot. *****

Nikola Vucevic, ORL at TOR ($7,400): Vucevic is listed as probable, but check his status before making any decisions. He had been over value in four straight prior to his 32 fantasy point in 20 minute effort against the Knicks on Tuesday. He needs 34.3 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. He should be around that number against the Raptors. ***
