High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Julius Randle (at ATL – $8,500): Needs 41 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.75 fantasy points against Toronto. No Holiday and a limited Davis puts all the spotlight on Randle. It can lead to bigger games but it’s also tougher with the extra attention. And the team around him isn’t good enough to pick him up. But the Hawks are a good matchup with their pace and this feels like a fame where Randle will thrive. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs MIL – $8,000): Needs 38.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.75 fantasy points against Atlanta. If Gay doesn’t end up playing, that’s better news for Aldridge as it means more scoring and rebounding opportunities for him. He’s a guy who gets tough buckets and I trust them to get those buckets in this game due to the matchup. He’ll also be the top rebounder for the Spurs. You can typically count on the Spurs at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

John Collins (vs NO – $7,500): Needs 36.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Your only other choice in this spot is Aaron Gordon or a lightly used Anthony Davis. Even though it’s a back-to-back for the Hawks, the matchup is very good due the Pelicans just being bad against the position. And Collins has turned his game around a bit as of late. His salary has jumped back up there, but the matchup should allow him to get value. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
