High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

LaMarcus Aldridge (at PHO – $8,500): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. Aldridge has had a rough couple of games against some favorable matchups. That worries me heading into Wednesday, but I can’t help but look at the Suns and not think Aldridge won’t dominate. Rudy Gay is cutting into his numbers, which is the biggest concern. I’m willing to give Aldridge one more game given the matchup. Diagnosis: Cold right now, but the matchup is obviously a great one.

Draymond Green (vs NO – $7,600): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. Green is who he is. He’ll put up wildly inconsistent numbers with plenty of consistency. But this is a great matchup given the Pelicans size. Green will be used to combat the Randle/Mirotic/Davis (if he plays) trio. Because of that, he’s likely to get plenty of rebounds while chipping in with assists, points, and defense. Diagnosis: He’ll get big minutes as he’s the best frontcourt option for the Warriors. Expect a strong DFS game.

Brandon Ingram (vs DAL – $7,100): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. Ingram returned to the lineup and had 38 fantasy points against the Timberwolves. He’ll get his shots playing alongside James. The Mavericks don’t offer much in terms of defense and Ingram should continue to get points while coming up with some rebounds. Diagnosis: I like Ingram’s game next to LeBron, even if they are still adjusting to playing with each other.
