High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Anthony Davis (at BOS – $12,400): Needs 52 fantasy points. Davis didn’t play well against the Pistons on Sunday, but don’t be too concerned. He’s still Anthony Davis. Expecting him to struggle in back-to-back games seems foolish, which means he’ll bounce back on Monday. The Celtics have gotten better thanks to some lineup changes and the team coming together, but Davis is Davis. Numbers are never an issue for him. Diagnosis: It’s Anthony Davis in what should be a close game. He’ll deliver.

Blake Griffin (at PHI – $9,100): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. As mentioned on Friday, Griffin loves this matchup. And he had 50.4 fantasy points against the Sixers on Friday. Andre Drummond just goes missing against Embiid, leaving Griffin to have to do even more. He’s averaging 57.9 fantasy points in his last four games against the Sixers. Trust him to keep it rolling, even with the Pistons on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: High ceiling and proven matchup.

Kyle Kuzma (vs MIA – $7,500): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. Kuzma continues to be a strong second option next to LeBron, going over 39 fantasy points in his last four games. It doesn’t seem to matter who the matchup is against right now because Kuzma is doing a little bit of everything. Pay no attention to the earlier season game against the Heat. That was a different Kuzma and a different Lakers squad. Diagnosis: High ceiling and red hot. Showing no signs of slipping either.
