High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs OKC – $8,300): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.5 fantasy points against Detroit. I’m not certain of many things in life. But I am always certain that Aldridge will kill the Thunder. They’ve had no answer for him at home since the 2016 playoffs and they’ll have no answer for him on Saturday. I love Aldridge in this game. He’s going to hit every shot and get plenty of rebounds. You can build around Aldridge and count on him for a monster game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs GS – $8,000): Needs 35 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Harris continues to fit in perfectly with the Sixers and they’ll definitely need him to step up against the Warriors. It’s a tough matchup but the Warriors defense hasn’t look great and if they do decide to sleepwalk through this game, Harris will hurt them in a big way. With Embiid out, he’s by far their best frontcourt option. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Derrick Favors (vs MIL – $6,900): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.7 fantasy points against Denver. There’s some strong high salary power forward plays on Saturday. Paul Millsap should be in for a bounce back performance given the matchup and Kyle Kuzma has the Suns. You can always bet against the Suns. But Favors has been playing very well and the Bucks are are on a back-to-back. If they have tired legs, Favors will hurt them in the paint and on the glass. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
