High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Joel Embiid (vs WAS – $11,000): Needs 48.8 fantasy points. Embiid had 58.3 fantasy points against the Knicks on Nov. 28. He’s been delivering all season, even with Butler in the lineup. And now he gets the Wizards, who don’t play defense and are undersized. Embiid never needs a reason to play well, but the Wizards will probably pop off enough to anger him. The points and rebounds will be there. Diagnosis: Great matchup and high ceiling. He’ll get you over 50 fantasy points.

Nikola Vucevic (at PHO – $9,500): Needs 42.1 fantasy points. Vucevic had 45.1 fantasy points in 29 minutes against the Blazers on Nov. 28. The long road trip worries me, but Vucevic has been fantastic this season and it’s the Suns. It’s tough not to deliver against the Suns, even under tough scheduling circumstances. He’ll dominate this game. Diagnosis: Love everything about him on Friday.

Rudy Gobert (at CHA – $8,500): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. Gobert was up to 60.7 fantasy points against the Nets on Nov. 28. He’s been up-and-down in recent games so if the trend holds, he’ll be down against the Hornets. But it’s the Hornets. They have a lot of frontcourt issues and Gobert should be able to collect points and rebounds. Trust the matchup. Diagnosis: Inconsistent, but the matchup is good and the ceiling is high.
