High Salary PF
Ben Simmons, PHI vs. DAL ($11,500): Simmons posted 76.5 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Friday. He’s unlikely to play enough minutes to have that kind of impact on Sunday. He should play at least 25 minutes and he’ll put him his usual well-rounded stat line for as long as he plays, but this should be another blowout for Philadelphia. The salary is too high for his likely lack of minutes. Of course, if by chance this game is competitive, Simmons becomes a fantastic option. **
Dario Saric, PHI vs. DAL ($6,300): Saric had 10.1 fantasy points in 25 minutes in his return to the lineup on Friday. It’s possible the Sixers continue to monitor his minutes and given the matchup, it’s unlikely they need him anyway. He needs 27.9 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He’s less of a risk than Simmons due to his lower salary and should at least give you value. ***
Draymond Green, GSW at PHO ($8,300): The Suns are a great matchup and Green had 44.2 fantasy points against the a week ago. He needs 36.7 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. He’s been a disappointing fantasy player this season, hitting value in just 49 percent of games. It’s a good matchup, but playing time concerns and lack of fantasy production are real. **
Julius Randle, LAL vs. UTA ($8,000): Randle has missed value in six straight. His run out of gas late in the season and his salary hasn’t dropped enough to where he’s a comfortable addition. He needs 35.4 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He had 34.9 fantasy points against the Jazz on Tuesday. If Kyle Kuzma doesn’t play, that would be big for Randle’s value. But if Kuzma plays, Randle is a less attractive option. ***
