High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs PHO – $8,400): Needs 35.5 fantasy points. Aldridge just isn’t producing the way you would want him to produce at this salary. He’s been reliable, which is good, but you would hope for bigger games. The Suns are a great matchup, but maybe too good of a matchup as he probably won’t need to be that great for the Spurs to win this one. Diagnosis: Reliable, but I’m not expecting anything big from him at this point.

Tobias Harris (vs TOR – $7,700): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. Harris had 52.1 fantasy points against the Suns on Monday. Much like Gallinari, you know what you’re getting with Harris. He’s a reliable option and he’s the best scorer on the team. Points are typically not an issue for him although the matchup and circumstances are tough. But, like Gallinari, he’s earned the trust at this point. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at LAC – $6,800): Needs 28.7 fantasy points. Siakam continues to deliver. You more-or-less know what you’re getting from him at this point. He has a high ceiling and he’s a reliable option. With the Clippers on a back-to-back, and struggling against the Suns, this feels like a big spot for Siakam to deliver. He’ll get his points and rebound without much issue. Diagnosis: Reliable with a great ceiling. Love him on Tuesday.
