High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Anthony Davis (at POR – $13,800): Needs 60.1 fantasy points. It’s Anthony Davis. You can always take Anthony Davis with all the confidence in the world. He’s going to put up numbers across the board and he has a high ceiling when it comes to his scoring and rebounding numbers. He dominated the Blazers in the postseason and the Blazers didn’t magically acquire someone who can stop him. Mainly because no one actually exists. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a very high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs GS – $7,800): Needs 34 fantasy points. Harris has been solid during this recent stretch for the Clippers. He had 44.8 fantasy points against the Warriors on Dec. 23 and is averaging 41 fantasy points in two games against them this season. It’s a different Warriors team but Harris is reliable enough. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Draymond Green (at LAC – $7,600): Needs 33.1 fantasy points. Green was up to 50.2 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Jan. 16. His rebounding numbers might take a hit with Cousins back in the lineup but his assist numbers should remain strong. His scoring numbers are never reliable but if he’s going to be an elite three-point shooter then what can you do? He’s at a good salary as well. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
