High Salary C

Nikola Jokic, DEN at MIN ($11,500): Jokic has been over value in seven straight and 10-plus fantasy points over value in six of those contests. He’s on another level right now, raising his game and carrying the Nuggets into a must-win game on Wednesday. He had 50.3 fantasy points against the Timberwolves a week ago and needs 49.5 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. Minnesota ranks 28th against the position in their last 15 games. It should be another big game for the Denver center in the rematch. *****

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN vs DEN ($10,600): Towns had 44.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets a week ago. He needs 45.7 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. The Nuggets are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Jimmy Butler’s return takes some opportunities away from him, but it also takes offensive pressure off him. It’s a great matchup and he and Jokic should put on a show for the second time in a week. *****

Hassan Whiteside, MIA vs TOR ($7,000): The Raptors are 23rd against the position in their last 15 games. Whiteside posted 36.1 fantasy points in 21 minutes against the Thunder on Monday. He’s not playing big minutes down the stretch, but he’s making the most of those minutes. He had 31.5 fantasy points in 23 minutes against the Raptors on Feb. 13. Even in limited minutes, he can be around 30 fantasy points. ***
