High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Montrezl Harrell (at TOR – $6,900): Needs 31.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.75 fantasy points against Detroit. It’s a back-to-back for the Clippers and Harrell hasn’t exactly set the world on fire as of late. The minutes are typically there and the salary isn’t too terrible but there’s simply better value out there on Sunday and the slow slate. The ceiling remains high if you’re willing to take a bit of a risk. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a high ceiling.

Al Horford (vs OKC – $6,700): Needs 30.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against New York. Horford has been playing well and now he gets a matchup that he likes. He always seems to play well against the Thunder. He had 38.25 fantasy points against them back in October and is averaging 33.6 fantasy points against them in his last three games. This is a proven matchup for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs LAC – $6,400): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.75 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Siakam bounced back with a big performance against the Bucks because he just always seems to play well against them. He had 26.25 fantasy points in 27 minutes against the Clippers on Dec. 11. He’s been a reliable option all season and I expect nothing less in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
