High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Andre Drummond (vs NY – $10,600): Needs 47.3 fantasy points. Drummond followed up his 71.5 fantasy point performance against the Rockets with 51.7 fantasy points against the Suns. The Knicks are another good matchup where he should get plenty of points and rebounds. He had 51.4 fantasy points against the Knicks in a late-season meeting last year. Points and rebounds will almost always be there for him. Diagnosis: High ceiling and a very good matchup.

Nikola Jokic (vs LAL – $9,000): Needs 40.2 fantasy points. Jokic was down to 29.7 fantasy points against the Thunder on Nov. 24. Mason Plumlee ended up getting more run in that game, but Jokic’s minutes should be back up against a team that is poor against opposing centers. Jokic can do a bit of everything and should be able to do plenty in this matchup. Diagnosis: Love the matchup and his ceiling. I expect big things from Jokic.

Enes Kanter (at DET – $7,600): Needs 33.9 fantasy points. Kanter had 54.7 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Nov. 25. As always, when the minutes are there, the production will be there for Kanter. He had a monster 56.7 fantasy point performance against the Pistons on Dec. 22 last season and averaged 1.57 FPPM in two games against them last year. Diagnosis: Trust that the minutes will be there. And if they are, the production will be as well.
