High Salary C
Dwight Howard, CHA vs. IND ($9,000): Howard followed up his 50.9 fantasy point effort against the Bulls with 49.4 fantasy points against the Magic. He needs 39.4 fantasy points to reach value against the Pacers. Howard is playing well in these meaningless games and he’s still getting minutes to produce. With the Pacers compete level questionable, Howard should have another strong day. ****
Al Horford, BOS vs. ATL ($7,000): Horford is expected to be on a minutes restriction on Sunday, which really hurts his value. Even in his usual minutes, he’s been an inconsistent option all season as his game doesn’t translate to fantasy numbers. He needs 30.6 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. It’s a good matchup, but lack of minutes will hurt him. **
Rudy Gobert, UTA at LAL ($9,500): Gobert had 48.7 fantasy points against the Lakers on Tuesday. He knows how to elevate his game this time of year and Utah is hoping to reach the three seed out West. He needs 41.6 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday and should be over 40 fantasy points with an issue. ****
Nikola Vucevic, ORL at TOR ($8,800): Vucevic is currently listed as probable, but check his status before making any decisions. He was playing well prior to his injury on Tuesday against the Knicks, going over value in four straight. He still managed 30 fantasy points in 20 minutes against the Knicks. If he plays, he should find success against a Toronto team who will likely go through the motions. ***
