High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Blake Griffin (at SAC – $9,200): Needs 43.1 fantasy points. It wasn’t a great night for Griffin against the Lakers, but the matchup is good on Thursday. And Griffin is too good to not take advantage of this matchup. He does a bit of everything on good nights and I think he’ll have a good night in this game. Expect him to bounce back with a good scoring and rebounding night will chipping in with assists. Diagnosis: Good matchup and a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at DEN – $7,400): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. Harris continues to play a fairly reliable game for the Clippers. And he’s played well in both games against the Nuggets this season, averaging 37.9 fantasy points. Much like Gallinari, he’s rarely going to hurt your team and the ceiling is high with his scoring and rebounding. With the Nuggets defense slipping, this could be a shootout. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs OKC – $7,200): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. Aldridge was down to 24.75 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. No one of the Spurs played well. Chalk it up to an off night and expect them to be better. Aldridge has been inconsistent this season, but he never lacks for shots. The Thunder defense is looking rough and Aldridge should get his points while chipping in with rebounds. Diagnosis: Inconsistent, but a good ceiling.
