High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Joel Embiid (vs SAC – $9,900): Needs 47.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 57.25 fantasy points against Cleveland. Embiid has been great since his return and really he’s been great all season. And now he gets the Kings on a back-to-back. The Kings are always easing pickings for fantasy points and being on a back-to-back will certainly help Embiid that much more. A blowout is in play, which is the only concern. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (at NO – $7,400): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Nurkic will be in for an easy double-double with a good number of rebounds. He’s been playing well even in limited minutes and he’s at a good salary based on his usual production. With the Pelicans defense, this should be an easy scoring and rebounding night for Nurkic. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs PHO – $7,300): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Golden State. Capela has settled back intoa rhythm following his injury and now he gets the Suns. This should be an easy double-double for him with plenty of points and rebounds. Harden should find him plenty in the pick-and-roll and he’ll convert. You can always bet against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
