High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Kenneth Faried (vs OKC – $6,900): Needs 31.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against Sacramento. Houston will have their hands full against Steven Adams and that is where Faried comes in. He’s been great for the Rockets since joining the starting lineup and he’s at a good salary given the minutes and production he usually has. He’ll get his numbers in this one and I’m expecting a big rebounding game from him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Myles Turner (vs CLE – $6,700): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Turner continues to play great for the Pacers and I have no concern about his game right now. He’s been delivering in a big way and now he gets the Cavaliers. This could be a blowout which would hurt his ceiling but he’s at a good enough salary to where he should remain reliable and get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at NY – $6,400): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64 fantasy points against Atlanta. If you’ve stuck with me all season then you’ll know how much I like Siakam and potentially pairing him with Ibaka. The duo will get you value if nothing else and one of them will likely hit big. And now they get the Knicks. This will be a cakewalk for the Raptors although a blowout is in play. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
