High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Vucevic (vs CHA – $10,500): Needs 47 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.9 fantasy points against New Orleans. Vucevic is putting up big numbers even in limited minutes for the Magic. And now he gets a good matchup against the Hornets and their weak frontcourt. Even though he hasn’t played well against the Hornets this season, trust him to produce. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Steven Adams (at NO – $7,000): Needs 31.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.2 fantasy points against Portland. Adams has been down in recent games because Paul George is unstoppable and he’s been focusing on boxing out over rebounding. The matchup is good with the way the Pelicans are playing but he’s a risk right now. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a good ceiling.

High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Cody Zeller (at ORL – $5,800): Needs 26 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.3 fantasy points against Indiana. Zeller is logging big minutes for the Hornets in their frontcourt and he’s putting up strong numbers. He’s been solid against the Magic this season and I love the way he’s playing right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (at ATL – $5,400): Needs 24.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.1 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Y’all know how much I love me some Mitchell Robinson. He’s been great for the Knicks and he’s stayed at a good salary given the production and minutes he gets. I have no doubt about Robinson on Thursday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
