High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Lauri Markkanen (vs MIL – $8,900): Needs 38.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58 fantasy points against Boston. Markkanen remains hot as he’s shooting well from the field and he’s chipping in with plenty of rebounds as the Bulls frontcourt is rather weak after the trade. It’s a tough matchup but a little easier with Giannis sidelined. And I’m not doubting Markkanen at this point. The matchup doesn’t seem to matter. He continues to get it done every time he’s on the court. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at NO – $7,400): Needs 32 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.6 fantasy points against Portland. Harris continues to give steady production as a member of the Sixers. We haven’t seen him have a monster game with the Sixers but with Embiid out of the lineup and a good matchup against the Pelicans, it could happen in this one. I don’t like the Pelicans as much with Davis in the lineup, which is something I never thought I would say. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Marvin Bagley III (at MIN – $7,400): Needs 32 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. MB3 looks rested after the break and I continue to love his energy off the bench. And I love this matchup for the Kings because the Timberwolves just aren’t a very good team. The Kings are looking to make a big playoff push and the play of MB3 is going to be a big reason why they may end up holding off the Lakers and Clippers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
