High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Nikola Jokic (at SA – $10,300): Needs 49.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.25 fantasy points against New Orleans. You typically know what you’re going to get with Jokic. He’s been a reliable option for the majority of the season and always has a high ceiling. The Spurs are a tough matchup, especially at home, but Jokic shouldn’t be doubted at this point. And I’m just not enamored with the other center choices, though Rudy Gobert should be better on Monday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (at SAC – $6,400): Needs 31 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.25 fantasy points against LA Clippers. The Knicks are terrible but Mitchell Robinson is the best center in the league. I have no doubt about his game right now and love this matchup for him due to the Kings pace. You typically know what you’re getting from Robinson at this point. He’s the one Knick you can count on. I think. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (at LAL – $6,300): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.25 fantasy points against New York. Again, don’t put much stock into the Knicks game as it wasn’t close. Harrell should get big minutes in this one to take advantage of the Lakers poor interior. And I have no doubt about Harrell’s energy in this matchup. As I said earlier, the Clippers want to end the Lakers on Monday. They’ll bring it. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
