High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Nikola Jokic (at MEM – $10,800): Needs 51.1 fantasy points. Jokic was up to 76.5 fantasy points against the Sixers on Jan. 26. He didn’t have to deal with Joel Embiid, but it does go to show the kind of damage he can do. Dealing with Marc Gasol won’t be easy but Jokic has been fantastic this season and I’m not doubting him against any matchup. And even though Marc Gasol is good, the Grizzlies are a mess as a team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Myles Turner (vs GS – $6,800): Needs 32.2 fantasy points. Turner was down to 29.25 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Jan. 26 but I’m not too concerned. The minutes are still there for him and they’ll need him to come up big in this game given the Warriors new toy in the fonrtcourt. Turner has been good more often than not this season and I will continue to trust him in this spot. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Draymond Green (at IND – $6,300): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. Green has been at 37.75 fantasy points in his last two games. You out of know what you’re getting from him on most nights. He logs plenty of minutes and can do a bit of everything. And with the team he plays on he has an easy opportunity to do a bit of everything. If nothing else, he should get you value in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
