High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Anthony Davis (vs DAL – $12,800): Needs 52.9 fantasy points. You know what you’re getting from Davis on most nights. He’s been over 60 fantasy points in his last three games and four of his last five. He puts up big numbers in all categories and it doesn’t matter who is in front of him. The Mavericks are on a back-to-back, which doesn’t help their cause on Wednesday. Diagnosis: It’s Anthony Davis. Always reliable with a high ceiling.

Jaren Jackson Jr (vs LAC – $7,600): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. Jackson Jr followed up his 47.6 fantasy point effort against the Nets with 30.6 fantasy points against the Sixers. He had 38.9 fantasy points against the Clippers on Nov. 23. This seems to be a matchup he enjoys and we’ve seen him show a high ceiling. The rookie inconsistencies will always worry me, but I’ve loved Triple J all season. Diagnosis: Great and proven matchup. Trust the matchup over him being a rookie.

Kyle Kuzma (vs SA – $7,000): Needs 28.9 fantasy points. Kuzma has been great in recent weeks and was up to 42.1 fantasy points against the Suns on Dec. 2. It was the Suns, so let’s not go too crazy. But Kuzma has been delivering against tougher matchups. And it’s not like the Spurs are anything special on the defensive end. Throw in that they are on a back-to-back and things are looking good for Kuzma on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Red hot, good matchup and ceiling.
