High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Kevin Love (at MIA – $7,800): Needs 37.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Love has been outstanding since returning to the lineup. It’s a tough matchup for him on Friday as Miami can muck things up, but Love is arguably the best player on the court and someone has to get those numbers for Cavaliers. Love is obviously the best option and he can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Dwight Powell (at ORL – $6,700): Needs 32.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.5 fantasy points against Washington. Powell continues to play fantastic for the Mavericks and much like Love, someone has to get those numbers for the Mavericks frontcourt. Powell has obviously been the best option as of late. The minutes will be there and matchup is good as the Magic may keep things competitive. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs PHI – $6,700): Needs 32.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.25 fantasy points against Toronto. But Capela might be my favorite option on the night. Because Philly has just been brutal against opposing frontcourt players with Embiid in the lineup. And even though Capela isn’t quite back in form, this matchup is too good to pass up on. He’ll get plenty of easy points with his two guards and plenty of rebounds. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
