High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Lauri Markkanen (at ATL – $9,000): Needs 39.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Memphis. Markkanen was down in the last game but don’t be concerned. The Grizzlies have a way of doing that to teams. The Hawks, on the other hand, don’t have a way of doing that to teams. Quite the opposite. They have a way of getting into shootouts and Markkanen is the best bullet in the Bulls chamber given his scoring and rebounding ability. He’ll bounce back in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Julius Randle (at PHO – $8,800): Needs 38.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.75 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Randle has been over 50 fantasy points in the last two games. And with Davis now on a minutes restriction for the rest of the season, it’ll be on Randle to lead the Pelicans from the frontcourt position. He can do it and this certainly won’t be the matchup to deter him. You can always bet against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs POR – $7,500): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.6 fantasy points against Boston. Siakam continues to be a reliable option and even though this is a tough matchup, there’s no reason to doubt Siakam given how he’s played all season. And with Ibaka seeing fewer minutes, Siakam will have to continue to play even better. I also like Montrezl Harrell if you want to save some money because I love that game and Harrell’s energy will be huge. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
