High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Love (at MIA – $8,600): Needs 37.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.2 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Love continues to be great for the Cavaliers and even though the matchup is tough, someone has to get these numbers in Cleveland. And Love is the best player for them every night and arguably the best player on the floor in this matchup. I have little doubt about him given his recent run and the fact that he’s playing more minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at NO – $7,500): Needs 33 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Houston. Siakam typically gives you exactly what you need and we know his ceiling is higher. I don’t know if Ibaka or Gasol will start, but his fit has been better with Ibaka all season as the two have developed some nice chemistry. The matchup is a good one as the Pelicans struggles against all DFS positions. If Ibaka starts, you can go back to pairing these two. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (vs OKC – $7,200): Needs 31.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.7 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Harrell has settled into a nice spot although I’d like to see a bit more out of him. And he should be able to produce more against this matchup. He has 32.7 fantasy points in 26 minutes when these teams met in December and he’s playing more minutes now. I’m just not trusting OKC given their recent stretch and being on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
