High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Blake Griffin (at BOS – $8,700): Needs 36.7 fantasy points. Griffin was all out of sorts when these two teams met on Oct. 27 with Griffin having just 15.7 fantasy points. There’s no way he can be worse, so expect him to bounce back. He’s too good of a player to struggle in the same manner, no matter how good the Celtics defense is. Diagnosis: Maybe a high risk based on last game, but it’s tough to see him struggling in the same way.

Tobias Harris (at OKC – $7,800): Needs 32.9 fantasy points. Much like Gallinari, Harris has been reliable for the Clippers and DFS players this season. He had 47 fantasy points against the Thunder on Oct. 19. If the Thunder are missing Adams and Noel, Harris will kill them on the boards and in the paint. Diagnosis: Potentially great matchup for a guy who is going to get points and rebounds.

Aaron Gordon (vs SAC – $7,700): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. Gordon has been struggling in the last three games. And the Kings are looking better than the Kings typically look. But they are on a back-to-back. We know what Gordon is capable of and I look for him to have. Diagnosis: I like the matchup and I’m banking on him to have a bounce-back performance.
