High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

John Collins (at PHI – $7,800): Needs 36.6 fantasy points. Collins was up to 51.5 fantasy points against the Nets on Jan. 9. I continue to love his game and he continues to deliver. I have very little doubt about him, even as his salary gets a little higher. I don’t know what to make of the Sixers, but I will continue to trust that Collins gets his points and rebounds because someone has to for the Hawks. Diagnosis: Increased salary is a bit scary. But he has a very high ceiling and hasn’t steered me wrong much this season.

Domantas Sabonis (at NY – $7,500): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. Sabonis is in the starting lineup but even coming off the bench, he’s been strong this season. And now he gets the Knicks. Whether he’s starting or coming off the bench, he’s going to do a bit of everything and is a double-double threat. If Turner is out once again, that bodes better for his value. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling. Take with confidence if Turner is out.

Pascal Siakam (vs BKN – $6,700): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. You typically know what you’re getting with Siakam. He’s been reliable all season, hitting value in 71 percent of games. He’s a double-double threat and has high scoring numbers in him. The Nets are a good matchup because they are a good NBA team, but also a good DFS matchup. He’s rarely going to hurt you and could always have a big game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
