High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Jokic (vs UTA – $11,000): Needs 50.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 62.8 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Gobert would be a tough matchup on most nights but with the Jazz on a back-to-back, Jokic will find this matchup easier than usual. And I’m not doubting Jokic at this point. He’s been fantastic this season and can do a lot of everything. He needs a big game but he’s been delivering big games all season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs MIA – $7,700): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.4 fantasy points against Charlotte. Capela looked more like himself against the Hornets, which should be a good sign for his value in this one. Although the Hornets are a good matchup and the Heat are a bit tougher of a matchup. Though with Whiteside out, Capela will have more room to maneuver in the paint. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (vs CLE – $7,400): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.8 fantasy points against Orlando. Robinson jumps into the high salary range but it’s still not high enough for what he typically gives you. Assuming he doesn’t play 13 minutes for whatever reason. I also like Steven Adams simply because the Sixers don’t have a strong center presence to deal with him. As for Robinson, he gets the Knicks and you can always bet against the Knicks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
