High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Lauri Markkanen (at MEM – $9,400): Needs 41.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.9 fantasy points against Milwaukee. There is no stopping Markkanen at this point. His salary has jumped up but he’s the best player on the Bulls and is putting up big scoring and rebounding numbers during this recent stretch. And don’t let the Lakers game fool you, the Grizzlies aren’t a very good team. Not the Bulls are great, but Markkanen is playing like a great player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Julius Randle (at LAL – $8,100): Needs 35.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.3 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Randle is typically a reliable player against the Lakers but I’m still expecting more from him against his former team. Davis actually hurts him in these games because he’s disinterested in playing basketball and holding back guys who are trying like Randle. If nothing else, he’ll get you value but maybe this is the game where he delivers big. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Marvin Bagley III (vs MIL – $8,000): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.2 fantasy points against Minnesota. MB3 drew the start in his last game but it doesn’t matter if he’s starting or coming off the bench, the minutes are going to be there for him. It’s a tough matchup but I love the way he’s playing right now. It’s a higher salary than usual but I’ll continue to trust him. If you are looking to save some money Montrezl Harrell is reliable. And Draymond gets plenty of minutes and opportunities at a good salary. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
