High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Blake Griffin (at ORL – $9,900): Needs 45.5 fantasy points. Griffin has been great this season and is coming off a 55.7 fantasy point performance against the Heat on Nov. 5. He should dominate the Magic with his scoring, rebounding, and passing ability. He’s good for at least a double-double and has the ability to put up big scoring and rebounding numbers. Diagnosis: Been fantastic this season and has a good matchup.

Paul George (at CLE – $9,100): Needs 40.9 fantasy points. George had 52 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Nov. 5. With Westbrook out, George will be left to run the show in OKC. He’s made strides as a playmaker this season and is always reliable to get points and defensive numbers. He should have a big game against Cleveland. Diagnosis: Even without Westbrook, the Thunder should role against Cleveland. And George will be the best player on the floor.

Julius Randle (vs CHI – $6,500): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. I imagine Randle will actually miss a shot against the Bulls, but this is a very good matchup for him. The Bulls lack frontcourt options and Randle should be able to dominate them coming off the bench. He’s been inconsistent, but the ceiling is high and the matchup is very good. Diagnosis: Love the matchup and his ceiling.
