High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Draymond Green (at DAL – $6,700): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. In games that haven’t been blowouts, Green has been solid. He hasn’t shown a high ceiling this year that he has shown in the past, but the opportunities are obviously there given the team that he’s on. He’s always a low-end double-double and triple-double threat. He had 39 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Dec. 22. Diagnosis: Reliable.

Aaron Gordon (vs HOU – $6,500): Needs 29.7 fantasy points. Gordon had 47 fantasy points against the Celtics on Saturday. You typically never know what you’re going to get from him. The ceiling is high because he can do a bit of everything. And the matchup isn’t bad due to the Rockets defense and quick trigger on offense. But he hasn’t earned the right to be reliable. Diagnosis: Very inconsistent with a high ceiling.

Paul Millsap (vs POR – $6,000): Needs 28.2 fantasy points. Millsap had 33.25 fantasy points against the Suns on Saturday. He’s been up-and-down for most of the season, but I’m going to trust him in this matchup, mainly because Jokic can sometimes struggle against Nurkic. Millsap is always a double-double threat and has a good ceiling with his scoring. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
