High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (vs CHA – $7,700): Needs 33.1 fantasy points. Harris had 46.8 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 6. He’s been a bit cold in recent weeks, but he’s never turning in dud games to where he’ll absolutely kill your lineup. And he gets the Hornets on Tuesday. Everyone is scoring against the Hornets nowadays. I would suspect that Harris will be able to do the same. Plus he’ll chip in with rebounds. Diagnosis: Love the matchup. Reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs ATL – $7,300): Needs 31.3 fantasy points. Siakam was down to 27 fantasy points against the Pacers on Jan. 6. The bad news is that the Raptors are getting healthy, which means less opportunities for Siakam to have a big game. But it will open up the floor more for him and he gets the Hawks on Tuesday. Even with Toronto getting healthy, I like this matchup and he should do enough to at least get you value, even in a blowout. Diagnosis: Reliable, but a blowout could limit his ceiling.

Domantas Sabonis (at CLE – $7,100): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. Sabonis drew the start against the Raptors and finished with 36.2 fantasy points. If Myles Turner is out once again, it should be another strong night for Sabonis. Even if Turner plays, it’s the Cavaliers. He should have no issue producing, even in limited minutes. He posts numbers in all categories and will get it done once agin. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling, especially if Turner doesn’t play.
