High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (at POR – $7,800): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. Harris has been reliable this season and he’s shown a high ceiling. He had 39 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Nov. 5. The Blazers are a tougher matchup, but I’m not doubting Harris given his ability to score and grab rebounds. He’s also technically your only high salary option on the night assuming Green doesn’t play. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jayson Tatum (at PHO – $6,400): Needs 26.9 fantasy points. Tatum has cooled off with his scoring, but he’s doing enough in other categories to boost his value. Against the Suns, it wouldn’t be surprising if his scoring numbers shot back up. Of course, Kyrie might have to relinquish some control of the offense. Diagnosis: Reliable at this salary and a high ceiling, given the matchup.

Montrezl Harrell (at POR – $5,800): Needs 24.3 fantasy points. Harrell always produces when he gets minutes. He’s gotten minutes in the last two games and he’s been over 30 fantasy points in both contests. He’s at 1.3 FPPM this season, which is great. He should get minutes against the Blazers given their frontcourt options. Diagnosis: As long as he plays, he’ll produce.
