High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at PHO – $11,500): Needs 53.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 79 fantasy points against Utah. It’s Giannis against the Suns. He might not get big minutes as this could end up being a blowout, but the circumstances aren’t bad for the Suns and even in limited minutes, Giannis is going to have a monster outing. You can never go wrong with Giannis and you can never go wrong picking against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Julius Randle (at UTA – $8,200): Needs 39.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.5 fantasy points against Denver. Randle has been good more often than not as a member of the starting lineup and if Davis is out, I like him more just because his minutes and opportunities are more guaranteed. It’s a tough matchup but Randle is their best frontcourt option and can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Paul Millsap (at SA – $6,600): Needs 31.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. I was torn between Millsap and Aldridge but ultimately went Millsap because the Nuggets are probably a little desperate after two losses and Millsap is the cheaper option. But you can rarely go wrong with Aldridge playing at home. Millsap is on a good run right now and knows what it takes to win these big road games. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
