High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Vucevic (at MIA – $9,700): Needs 42.9 fantasy points. Vucevic has been a force in recent contests. He’s gone over 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He had just 26.6 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Heat on Oct. 17, but that was the first game of the season and Vucevic has become the top guy in Orlando since then. Trust him to continue to dominate opponents. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Rudy Gobert (vs SA – $9,500): Needs 42 fantasy points. Gobert has been fantastic in recent contests, going over 49 fantasy points in his last three games. The Spurs will give him another opportunity to post a big game as they offer very little defense. The points and rebounds should be there for him on Tuesday. Diagnosis: Can be inconsistent, but he’s hot right now and the matchup is good.

Myles Turner (vs CHI – $7,100): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. Has Turner turned into a reliable option? I’m not so sure, but he’s been encouraging recently. Minus that brutal Lakers game. But the Lakers are good and Tyson Chandler is the MVP. So, what can you do? The Bulls are a great matchup for Turner and the Pacers. He should get plenty of points and assists in this one. Diagnosis: High ceiling and a great matchup. I’m not 100 percent confident he’s reliable.
