High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Jokic (at NO – $11,200): Needs 50.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.5 fantasy points against Memphis. The Pelicans are on a back-to-back and will be without Anthony Davis and likely Julius Randle once again. Okafor is playing well, but his defense is still suspect. And Jokic has been great this season. Trust him to bounce back in this one. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

Jahlil Okafor (vs DEN – $7,400): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.4 fantasy points against Houston. Look, Okafor is now the best center in the league and we should all just accept it. The sooner we do that, the better. The matchup is tough but the Pelicans need all the frontcourt help they can get and he’s been delivering. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Myles Turner (at WAS – $7,300): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.7 fantasy points against Golden State. Turner had a solid outing against the Warriors and has simply turned into a reliable player. And now he gets the Wizards on a back-to-back. He should be in for another strong outing in this game given how well he’s played and matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
