High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Nikola Jokic (vs MIA – $10,400): Needs 48.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.5 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Jokic has been a beast for pretty much this whole season and now he gets a great matchup against the Miami team that is on a back-to-back. He had 63.25 fantasy points against the Heat on Jan. 8 and is averaging 58.3 fantasy points in his last three games against the Heat. Too much to like in this matchup for Jokic. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Andre Drummond (vs WAS – $9,000): Needs 41.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 66 fantasy points against New York. Drummond has been fantastic in his last three games, going over 50 fantasy in each contest. The Wizards frontcourt is better after the trade but their defense still lacks and they are a bit undersized. Drummond is a force and should have no problem getting his usual rebounds while chipping in with points in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (at OKC – $7,600): Needs 35.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.5 fantasy points against Dallas. This is Nurkic’s matchup. He had 47.25 fantasy points against the Thunder on Jan. 22 and has been over 40 fantasy points in his last three games against the Thunder. He’s one of the few guys who can match strength with Adams and is just a handful for him. Plus he’s probably going to be angry with Westbrook. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
