High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (vs HOU – $8,200):Needs 34.5 fantasy points. Harris is coming off a 47 fantasy point performance against the Thunder on Oct. 19. He’s a consistent and reliable scorer who boosts his value with his rebounding ability. With DeAndre Jordan no longer on team, Harris is able to pick up more rebounds as a result. If Houston is tired on the back-to-back, Harris will be an even bigger threat. He averaged 39.5 fantasy points in three games against Houston last season. Diagnosis: Good matchup that he’s done well against and puts up reliable scoring and rebounding numbers.

Kevin Love (vs ATL – $8,100):Needs 34.1 fantasy ponts.</i Kevin Love showed what he’s able to do when left to his own devices. Love is a proven “great player on a bad team” from his time in Minnesota and now he’s back in that role in Cleveland. He had 58.3 fantasy points against Minnesota on Oct. 19. The Hawks are an undersized squad and Love will be the best player on the court. Expect a big rebounding and scoring game out of him. Diagnosis: I like him more than Harris due to the matchup and he’s $100 cheaper. Ceiling is much higher given his team and matchup.

Paul Millsap (vs GS – $7,300):Needs 30.7 fantasy points. Millsap has been solid in both games this season, coming in around 35 fantasy points. His shot isn’t falling right now, which is a bit worrisome, but he’s contributing on the boards. Draymond Green is another option here, and a good one at that, but I’m feeling better about Millsap, especially with the way the Nuggets have looked. Diagnosis: Should hit value and could step up with Barton out.
