High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (vs MIA – $7,100): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.7 fantasy points against New York. Harris has been a bit up and down since joining the Sixers but now the team as had a week off to figure some things out. And I still like Harris’ fit overall with the Sixers. He hasn’t lacked for opportunities and he can be a matchup nightmare for the opposing team. The Heat can make things tough but the Sixers offense is rolling against these weaker teams. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jayson Tatum (at MIL – $7,000): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.8 fantasy points against Detroit. Quick notes on a couple of other players. Nance Jr has the Suns, which is never a bad idea. But if Thompson and Love play, I don’t know if he’ll get the minutes or opportunities you would like from that salary. And Faried is a strong option against the Lakers unless Capela is back in the lineup. That’s why I’ve gone with Tatum, who will get guaranteed minutes and opportunities. He had 36 fantasy points against the Bucks on Dec. 21 if you’re looking for some confidence in him. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Draymond Green (vs SAC – $6,800): Needs 29.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Portland. The pace certainly favors the Warriors when it comes to putting up DFS numbers. My concern with Draymond a guy by the name of DeMarcus Cousins, who will look to have a big impact against the team that traded him. But Draymond should do enough to at least get you value based on pace and the team overall. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.
