High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Draymond Green (at DAL – $7,400): Needs 31.9 fantasy points. Draymond has been fairly reliable during this recent stretch. The minutes are there for him and he always does a bit of everything, which certainly helps. He’s averaging 39.3 fantasy points in his last four games against the Mavericks, including a 36.5 fantasy point effort against them on Dec. 22. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Kyle Kuzma (vs CLE – $7,300): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. Kuzma went cold against the Jazz with just 24.1 fantasy points. He’s been up-and-down since returning to the lineup but he never lacks for opportunities. And it’s the Cavaliers. The matchup is a very good one and I continue to like his overall game, even with LeBron out of the lineup. Diagnosis: Great matchup and a good ceiling. Expect him to hit in this one.

Aaron Gordon (vs HOU – $7,100): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. Gordon had 42.4 fantasy points against the Celtics on Saturday. It was a nice reminder of what he can do, but he only seems to do it a couple of times a month. The other option at this spot is Paul Millsap, who is just as inconsistent and on a back-to-back. Both come with the same warning labels, I’m going with Gordon just due to the matchup and style of the Rockets. Diagnosis: Very inconsistent but a high ceiling.
