High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Jokic (at BKN – $10,800): Needs 47.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.6 fantasy points against Detroit. Jokic had a rough night against the Pistons but don’t be too concerned. His salary has dropped down which is the good news and he has a matchup he has dominated this season and last. He had 69.7 fantasy points against the Nets on Nov. 9 and is averaging 64.1 fantasy points in his last three games against the Nets. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jahlil Okafor (at CHI – $7,800): Needs 34.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.1 fantasy points against Indiana. Okafor is back to being the best player in the league so you can take him with confidence again. And you can take him with confidence because he’s up against the Bulls. Once again, as long as Randle doesn’t play, Okafor should be in for a big night. Even if Randle does play, Okafor should get big minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMarcus Cousins (vs SA – $7,500): Needs 33.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Cousins’ minutes are still down but he’s making a big impact because the Warriors continue to feature him. With LaMarcus Aldridge out of the lineup, Cousins will have an easier time in the paint. And he remains at a good salary for his current production. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
