High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (vs IND – $7,100): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. Siakam had 45.3 fantasy points against the Bucks on Saturday. He’s as reliable as they come and he has a high ceiling due to his scoring and minutes. He had 41.4 fantasy points against the Pacers on Dec. 19. The minutes will continue to be there, especially in this matchup with the Indiana frontcourt. He’ll be strong in this game as he always is. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Domantas Sabonis (at TOR – $7,000): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. Sabonis was up to 42.9 fantasy points against the Bulls on Jan. 4. With Myles Turner being listed as question, Sabonis will hopefully get more minutes. He’s a reliable option for the most part, but his ceiling goes up when he gets more minutes because he’s just a guy who produces. Diagnosis: Take with confidence if Turner is out. Reliable otherwise.

Serge Ibaka (vs IND – $6,700): Needs 28.8 fantasy points. Ibaka had 43.3 fantasy points against the Bucks on Saturday. That was a proven matchup for him and he delivered. This matchup isn’t bad and if Turner is out, things will be easier for him. He’s streaky and the hope is that he’s hot after a strong performance on Saturday. Minutes and chances will not be a problem. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
