High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Jayson Tatum (at PHI – $7,200): Needs 31.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.6 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Tatum may have been a bit down against the Clippers but trust him to be better against the Sixers. He’s played very well against the Sixers this season, averaging 43.9 fantasy points in two games against them. And with Kyrie out of the lineup, Tatum will have more opportunities on offense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs BOS – $7,200): Needs 31.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.2 fantasy points against LA Lakers. As mentioned earlier, Harris has fit in nicely to the Philly system. Even better than Jimmy Butler because he does better to make himself available and his shooting gives him the edge over Butler. I like Harris’ game overall and I really like it in Philly. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kyle Kuzma (at ATL – $6,700): Needs 28.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.1 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Kuzma is shooting hot for the Lakers and if LeBron is out, he’ll have even more scoring opportunities. Of course, it also puts more pressure on him. But this matchup shouldn’t be an issue for him with the way the Hawks play on both ends of the floor. Kuzma will get his scoring numbers and provide rebounding. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
