High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Kyle Kuzma (at CHA – $8,200): Needs 34.6 fantasy points. The only real concern with Kuzma on Saturday is a lack of minutes. I could see the Lakers blowing out the Hornets, who are on a back-to-back and went to overtime against the Knicks. Meanwhile, the Lakers are rested and angry following their loss to the Rockets. As long as Kuzma gets the minutes, he’s going to produce a big game. But it’s possible this one isn’t close. Diagnosis: If you think the Hornets will hand in there, Kuzma is a great option.

Tobias Harris (at OKC – $7,700): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. The Clippers are struggling a bit right now, but so are the Thunder. And the Thunder looked dead tired against the Nuggets last night, so facing the Clippers on Saturday is a big spot for LA to bounce back. Harris has earned enough good will this season for me to think he’ll bounce back against a tired and struggling team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Marcus Morris (at DET – $6,700): Needs 28.3 fantasy points. Morris continued his strong play as a starter and had 34.7 fantasy points in 25 minutes against the Hawks on Friday. It was the Hawks, but at least he got some rest and should be fresh for this one against the Pistons. He’s been solid in both games against the Pistons this season and that was when he was coming off the bench. As a starter, he’s shown a much higher ceiling. Diagnosis: Good matchup and salary. Reliable at the very least, but expect more.
