High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Nikola Jokic (at NO – $10,600): Needs 51.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.25 fantasy points against Memphis. Jokic was down against the Grizzlies but there’s plenty of reason to think he’ll bounce back in this one. The Pelicans are on a back-to-back and are still shorthanded in their frontcourt. Expect Jokic to return to form in this game given how well he’s played this season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Myles Turner (at WAS – $6,900): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.5 fantasy points against Golden State. Turner had a solid outing against the Warriors and continues to be a reliable option for the Pacers. And now he gets a great matchup against the Wizards, who don’t have much in their frontcourt. If nothing else, Turner gets you value. But expect more in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jahlil Okafor (vs DEN – $6,600): Needs 31.3 fantasy points LAST GAME – 48.5 fantasy points against Houston. Okafor continues to deliver and given the state of the Pelicans, I trust him to keep delivering. He’s playing for his career and making the most of it. The Nuggets are a tough matchup but I’m not going to doubt the best center in the league right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
