High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Lauri Markkanen (vs MIL – $8,300): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.2 fantasy points against Washington. Markknanen continues his hot streak and I will continue to take him. The matchup is a tough one because the Bucks are the Bucks and they will welcome back Giannis. They’ll also be upset following a loss to the Magic. But Markkanen has shown that he can raise his game in these situations and I like his game overall. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Larry Nance Jr (vs NY – $7,100): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40 fantasy points against Indiana. Nance Jr has been great for the Cavaliers in recent contests. And now he’s in the starting lineup, which gets him more guaranteed minutes. And he’s going up against the Knicks, which gets him an easy matchup. Just a lot to like with Nance Jr in this contest and he should be in for another strong night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs BKN – $6,800): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.6 fantasy points against New York. Siakam was down against the Knicks, which was surprising and not the best sign for his value but I like this matchup for him and still like him at this salary. As always, I feel confident that you can pair Siakam and Ibaka and come away with great value at the power forward position. They are reliable as a duo and one is likely to hit in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
