High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Blake Griffin (at NY – $9,200): Needs 39.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – fantasy 29.4 points against Denver. It was Drummond who had the big game against the Nuggets but it’s typically Griffin who gets it done. And I expect Griffin to get it done in this game because it’s the Knicks. Even though I’m worried that the Pistons will end up losing, that just means the game should be competitive. And again, it’s the Knicks. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Serge Ibaka (at PHI – $7,200): Needs 31 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.4 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Ibaka is averaging 34.9 fantasy points in two games against the Sixers this season. His salary could be a bit lower but he’s been a reliable option all season and the minutes will be there for him in this game given the matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at PHI – $6,800): Needs 29.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.8 fantasy points against LA Clippers. It was a blowout against the Clippers so don’t mind that number. Siakam has been reliable all season and I still maintain that you can pair the two Raptors forwards and get value at the very least with a good chance that one hits big. Especially in this matchup. Siakam is averaging 36.3 fantasy points in three games against the Sixers this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
