High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

LaMarcus Aldridge (at POR – $7,800): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.25 fantasy points against Sacramento. Aldridge should be back for this game but check his status before making any decisions. He typically plays well against the Blazers and is averaging 43.4 fantasy points in his last five games against his former team. He’ll be rested for this one which will help. And it’s possible that the Blazers are shorthanded in their frontcourt. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (at IND – $7,200): Needs 33.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. I love Harrell in this game. The Clippers are without Harris and could be without Gallinari. All of that points to a big game for Harrell as he’ll get more minutes and opportunities. He’s shown a high ceiling and this will be a big chance to show that ceiling given the circumstances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Al Horford (vs LAL – $6,700): Needs 30.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34 fantasy points against Cleveland. Horford continues to play well for the Celtics and now he gets a good matchup against the weak Lakers frontcourt. It’s not only a weak Lakers frontcourt but they could be a shorthand Lakers frontcourt. This should be a big outing for Horford in this one with a double-double definitely on the table. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
