High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Anthony Davis (vs LAC – $12,700): Needs 51.7 fantasy points. Davis had 78.8 fantasy points against the Hornets on Sunday. It’s Anthony Davis. It doesn’t matter what the matchup is at this point, he’s going to put up huge numbers. He’s good for an easy 50 fantasy points and there’s always a chance he breaks the system. The Clippers are also on a back-to-back, which means this game could get very weird on Monday. Diagnosis: Always reliable with a very high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at NO – $8,100): Needs 33 fantasy points. Harris was down to 28 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Sunday. The shots weren’ falling, but they are always going to be there for him. As always, you can roll with Harrell over Harris as he is a bit more reliable as his points come easier and he’s always good for rebounds. But I like Harris in this one due to the matchup and his outside scoring. Diagnosis: Despite struggling on Sunday, he’s typically reliable and the matchup is good.

Pascal Siakam (vs DEN – $6,800): Needs 27.7 fantasy points. Siakam has been up-and-down in recent contests. He was down against the Cavaliers, finishing with just 25.5 fantasy points. But he’s a high ceiling guy who is typically reliable. The Nuggets are a solid matchup as they rank 17th against the position. Siakam can also do a bit of everything, which helps his value. Diagnosis: On the lower end of high salary guys and if the trend continues, this will be one of his “up” games. Fairly reliable.
