High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Tobias Harris (vs MIA – $7,400): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. Harris has been up-and-down in recent contests, which is a bit concerning given how reliable he’s been throughout the season. The Grizzlies matchup was tough and his salary has lowered, which gives me confidence heading into Saturday. His scoring hasn’t been there, but he’s been a top scorer all season and he’ll pick it back up again. Saturday will be that day. Diagnosis: Trust him to bounce back and find the bottom of the net again.

Al Horford (at CHI – $6,600): Needs 31.1 fantasy points. Horford has continued his up-and-down trend. He was up to 47 fantasy points against the Knicks. If the trend holds, he’ll be down against the Bulls. But this is another good matchup and the Bulls are on a back-to-back. Horford should be able to pick up his points and rebounds in this one. Diagnosis: Inconsistent, but the matchup is good and I trust him in it.

John Collins (vs DEN – $6,800): Needs 32 fantasy points. Collins has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. I loved Collins last season because he brought energy and was typically good for a double-double. He’s returned to form this season and now he gets the Nuggets. With the injury to Millsap, they are depleted in the frontcourt. Collins can hurt them. Diagnosis: Matchup and circumstances are good.
