High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Domantas Sabonis (vs PHO – $7,900): Needs 37.1 fantasy points. If Turner remains out of the lineup, you can continue to take Sabonis with confidence. His salary is getting pretty high if Turner is back in the lineup because he typically doesn’t quite get enough minutes to produce this big of a number on a consistent basis. But no Turner means more minutes. Diagnosis: Take with confidence if Turner is out of the lineup.

Kyle Kuzma (vs CHI – $7,300): Needs 33.4 fantasy points. Kuzma was back up to 45.25 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Jan. 13. He’s been up-and-down since returning to the lineup, but I have very little doubt about him in this game. It’s the Bulls. Kuzma should get plenty of points while chipping in with rebounds and a handful of assists. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (at DEN – $6,300): Needs 29.6 fantasy points. Green has been way down in his last two games, failing for crack 30 fantasy points. I don’t know what to make of his game this season, but it hasn’t been great in DFS terms. The minutes and opportunities are always there and when he hits, he usually hits big. But when he misses, he misses big. Diagnosis: A risk, but a high reward if he steps up like he typically does in these bigger games.
