High Salary PF

Anthony Davis, NO at LAC ($13,200): Davis posted 70.4 fantasy points against the Warriors on Saturday. He needs 58.4 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. That sounds like it could be an issue until you see that he’s averaging 63.8 fantasy points in three games against the Clippers this season and had 76.6 fantasy points against them on Mar. 6. There’s no reason to doubt Davis right now and with the Pelicans still playing for a playoff spot, he’ll deliver once again. *****

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs SAC ($9,900): Aldridge may not have the 70-plus fantasy point games that Davis posts, but he’s been outstanding during this recent run. He’s been at 49 fantasy points in his last two games and has been over value in 11 of his last 12 games. His one miss was due to an injury that limited him to just 18 minutes. He should have no problem getting points and rebounds against an overmatched Kings squad. *****

Nikola Mirotic, NO at LAC ($6,900): Mirotic has been fantastic since re-joining the starting lineup, going over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. His salary has jumped to where he needs 30.6 fantasy points to reach value on Monday. He’s a streaky player, but he’s hot right now, he’s playing alongside Davis and Jrue Holiday, and the Clippers are easy pickings with their lack of defense. Ride his hot hand until it goes cold. ***
