High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Karl-Anthony Towns (at ORL – $11,100): Needs 49.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.1 fantasy points against Memphis. I fully expect the Magic to have Vucevic in the lineup but on the chance that he is traded, Towns will have an easier time. Even if Vucevic plays, Towns has been great this season when he’s been able to stay on the court. The matchup is good and trust him to keep his hands to himself in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Myles Turner (vs LAC – $7,700): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.2 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Turner continues to be a reliable option and his minutes should be up in this one as the Clippers can’t play any worse than the Lakers did in the Pacers last game. I’m loving Turner’s game right now and he’s always a nice cost-effective center who will continue to get you value if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al Horford (vs LAL – $7,500): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.2 fantasy points against Cleveland. Horford continues to get it done for the Celtics and he should have no problem getting numbers in this one. Either the Lakers will be shorthanded or they will have the same weak frontcourt that they’ve had all season. Either way, things project great for Horford in this game. He’ll put up his usual numbers in all categories and a little bit more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
