High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Lauri Markkanen (at ATL – $8,600): Needs 41.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against Memphis. Markkanen was down last game but I’m not concerned. Maybe he was due for a bad game due to his recent run. He’ll have the opportunity to bounce back in a big way in this one. The pace will be up and Markkanen should get plenty of points and rebounds. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Julius Randle (at PHO – $8,000): Needs 38.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Randle finally had that big game against the Lakers, his minutes are going to be up with Davis not playing much and now he gets the Suns. All signs point to another big game for Randle in this one. You can never go wrong betting against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs POR – $7,000): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46 fantasy points against Boston. Siakam continues to play great for the Raptors and while you can no longer comfortably pair him with Ibaka and get reliable production, you can continue to get reliable production out of him. It’s a tough matchup but Siakam has been a monster this season and he’ll have another strong outing in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
