High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Tobias Harris (vs LAL – $8,500): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.75 fantasy points against Atlanta. Harris continues to be a reliable option for the Clippers and now he gets the terrible Lakers team. I love Harris in this game as he should get his points and rebounds without an issue. Even though he wasn’t good in the earlier Lakers game this season, he will bounce back with a strong performance in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs BKN – $8,300): Needs 38.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55 fantasy points against Phoenix. And as much as I love Harris, I love Aldridge just as much. He’s been a monster with DeRozan out of the lineup and he will continue to be a monster with DeRozan out of the lineup. The Nets are a good matchup for him and you can take him with confidence if DeRozan remains out. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (vs IND – $6,800): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.25 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. I still have my reservations about Gordon because he’s never been a reliable option but he’s playing very well right now and this is a good matchup for him with the Pacers reeling and being on a back-to-back. And he had 49.5 fantasy points against the Pacers earlier this season. So I’ll trust him here. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
