High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Andre Drummond (vs GS – $10,200): Needs 45 fantasy points. Drummond had 62 fantasy points in 30 minutes against the Bulls on Friday. He’s inconsistent, but his ceiling is very high given his ability to get big scoring and rebounding numbers. The Warriors can be weak about the frontcourt with Green out of the lineup. Diagnosis: Inconsistent, but solid matchup and a very high ceiling.

Karl-Anthony Towns (vs BOS – $9,800): Needs 43.3 fantasy points. Towns has been reliable with Butler out of town. The Timberwolves have even had some blowout games, which has limited Towns’ value. The minutes should be there on Saturday, as long as he’s not in foul trouble. The points and rebounds are typically there for him and his assist numbers are up in recent games. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs CHI – $8,800): Needs 38.8 fantasy points. Capela dominated the Spurs on Friday, finishing with 57.9 fantasy points. The Bulls are a fantastic matchup, but maybe too good of a matchup. The Rockets might blow the Bulls out and if they do, Capela will probably end up with plenty of points and rebounds, but not quite enough to hit value in limited minutes. If you think the game will be competitive, take him with confidence. Both teams are on a back-to-back and things do get weird. Diagnosis: High ceiling, but a blowout looms.
