High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

John Collins (at WAS – $8,100): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 61.5 fantasy points against Phoenix. Collins finally had the big game we’ve been wanting to see out of him. And of course it came against the Suns. So I caution everyone before trusting him in this game. Because everyone has a big game against the Suns. He’s averaging 40.9 fantasy points in three games against the Wizards this season if you are looking for some confidence in him. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

LaMarcus Aldridge (at SAC – $8,000): Needs 36.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48 fantasy points against New Orleans. Aldridge has played well as of late and he’s got a good matchup against the Kings given their usual pace. He had 42 fantasy points against them on Nov. 12. DeRozan being back in the lineup hurts a bit but I still trust him to deliver in this matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kenneth Faried (at PHO – $7,000): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Utah. Faried has cooled down in the last two games. But don’t be worried. Because it’s Phoenix. Everyone has a big game against the Suns. And Faried gets the minutes and plays with enough energy to have a big game. I love this matchup for him because I love any matchup that involves the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
