High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Jokic (vs MIA – $11,400): Needs 51.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 59 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Jokic continues to be on a roll and this is a matchup he’s done very well against in the last two seasons. He’s averaging 54.8 fantasy points in his last three games against the Heat, including a 57.2 fantasy point effort against them on Jan. 8. And the Heat is on a back-to-back following a tough game against the Warriors. Jokic will deliver once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Andre Drummond (vs WAS – $10,600): Needs 47.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 67 fantasy points against New York. But if you want to save money and get similar, if not better value, you can go with Drummond. He’s been great during the last couple of weeks and even though the Wizards did add size at the deadline, they don’t have a real center threat that can contain Drummond. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (at OKC – $8,700): Needs 39.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.5 fantasy points against Dallas. Nurkic was down against Dallas and has been hit-and-miss over the last couple of weeks. But this is his matchup. He’s averaging 44.3 fantasy points in two games against the Thunder this season and typically always gets the best against them. I always love this matchup for Nurkic. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
