High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Julius Randle (vs UTA – $9,500): Needs 41.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.1 fantasy points against Utah. Randle has been over 50 fantasy points in four of his last five games. And the game he didn’t go over 50 fantasy points was a 28 minute game against the Suns. Simply put, Randle has been amazing for the Pelicans during this run. And with Davis playing less, Randle will continue to play huge. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling

Blake Griffin (vs MIN – $8,500): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.9 fantasy points against Toronto. Griffin has been stable in his recent outings but this is a game where I expect more from him due to the matchup. We know he has a high ceiling and I’m a fan of picking on the Timberwolves on Wednesday because they aren’t a good defensive team and they are on a back-to-back on the road. Plus, the Pistons continue to play well as they make a playoff push. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at CHI – $8,000): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.9 fantasy points against Orlando. I continue to love Harris in Philadelphia. He just keeps delivering and has shown he can deliver in a big way. And now he gets a great matchup against the Bulls. I have very little doubt about Harris’ game right now. With the Sixers lacking frontcourt depth, Harris continues to step up. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
