High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Karl-Anthony Towns (vs BKN – $10,300): Needs 45.7 fantasy points. Towns had 62.3 fantasy points against the Kings on Nov. 9. And with Butler gone, more of the offense should run through him on Monday. If Wiggins is out as well, Rose and Towns will get the majority of the touches. With the Timberwolves likely being shorthanded, Towns will probably play 50 minutes. Diagnosis: Matchup is good and circumstances are great.

Steven Adams (vs PHO – $7,900): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. Adams has been over 37 fantasy points in his last three games. With Westbrook out, he gets a few more touches and more rebounds. Against the Suns and their poor defense/offense, he should have no problem picking up points and rebounds. Diagnosis: You can rarely go wrong with a player like Adams against the Suns.

Julius Randle (at TOR – $7,300): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. Randle had 45.5 fantasy points as the starter against the Suns on Nov. 10. He’s been up-and-down in his last nine games. If the trend continues, he’ll be down against the Raptors. The Raptors are certainly a tough matchup, but if he starts, he’s at a good salary given the minutes he’ll get and the guy he plays alongside. Diagnosis: If Mirotic is out, take him with confidence.
