High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Karl-Anthony Towns (vs WAS – $11,600): Needs 52.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.8 fantasy points against Detroit. Towns was down against the Pistons but he’s entering into a very good matchup against the Wizards, who are on a back-to-back. He’s been good more often than not this season and I think the Pistons game was more the exception than the norm. He’ll bounce back with a strong performance here. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (vs PHO – $9,000): Needs 40.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.9 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Nurkic does what he typically does against the Thunder and that’s put up enough points and plenty of rebounds. And now he gets the Suns. He should really be motivated after getting ejected from the Thunder game. And it’s the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al Horford (at LAL – $7,100): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.7 fantasy points against Sacramento.Horford has been all over the place this season and you never know quite what you’re going to get from him but the Lakers have nothing going on, especially in their frontcourt. Horford should be able to pick them apart with his reliable game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
