High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs WAS – $8,400): Needs 39 fantasy points. No DeRozan means more Aldridge. Everything will run through him and Gay and I trust him to deliver, especially against this matchup. The Wizards don’t offer much in their frontcourt and Aldridge should be able to take advantage of them with his scoring and rebounding ability. I love this matchup for Aldridge on Sunday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at DAL – $6,500): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. Siakam had 43 fantasy points against the Rockets on Jan. 25. He’s been reliable all season and I see no reason to doubt him in this one. Kawhi being back in the lineup takes some pressure off of him and he’s still good for his scoring and rebounding numbers. You can always take Siakam with confidence knowing he’s going to get you at least value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a god ceiling.

Serge Ibaka (at DAL – $6,400): Needs 29.7 fantasy points. And if you want, you can pair Siakam with Ibaka and feel confident in your frontcourt. Ibaka, who is usually a streaky player, has found some consistency this season and it’s really helped his DFS game. He’s not as reliable as Siakam and his ceiling isn’t even as high on most nights. But he can get very hot and this is a good matchup for him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
