High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (vs MIA – $7,900): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. Harris was down to 22.9 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Dec. 5. The matchup was tough, but he has been a bit up-and-down in recent weekends, which is a bit concerning. But the Heat are on a back-to-back and I’ll trust to Harris to bounce back. His scoring will pick up and the rebounds are typically there. Diagnosis: Trust the lid to come off the basket for him. He’ll deliver.

Kyle Kuzma (at MEM – $7,300): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. Kuzma continues his hot streak and was at 43.6 fantasy points against the Spurs on Friday. The Grizzlies are a tough matchup and maybe he goes cold at some point, but I’ll keep riding him while he’s hot. And he’s proven to be the best player alongside James due to his shooting and slashing ability. Diagnosis: Red hot and plays next to LeBron. Matchup is tough, but I trust him.

Lauri Markkanen (vs BOS – $6,800): Needs 28.2 fantasy points. Markkanen has picked up where he left off last season and had 45.4 fantasy points against the Thunder on Friday. The points and rebounds are typically there for him, especially with Portis out of the lineup. The Celtics are a tough matchup, but the Thunder were a tough matchup. Good players deliver and Markkanen is a great player. Diagnosis: Good matchup, high ceiling, he’ll deliver.
