High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Myles Turner (vs CLE – $7,900): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.9 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Turner has become a very reliable option this season and now he gets a great matchup against the Cavaliers. This should be an easy night at the office for Turner. There is concern of a blowout but he’s still at a decent enough salary to where he’ll put up big numbers even in limited minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al Horford (vs LAC – $7,500): Needs 33.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.4 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Horford’s minutes have gone back down which is a little concerning but he’s still putting up solid numbers. And he should be able to take advantage of the Clippers now weak frontcourt. Horford typically does a bit of everything and he should do enough to at least get you value in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Steven Adams (at HOU – $6,900): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.2 fantasy points against Memphis. I actually like Adams better than Horford because he’ll save you some money and is a more reliable option. I also love this matchup for him because the Thunder go to him early and often against the Rockets. He’s at a good salary given his usual production and minutes and will definitely get you value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.
