High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs POR – $9,200): Needs 39.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.2 fantasy points against New York. Aldridge usually brings it against his former team, though he was down to 29.5 fantasy points against the Blazers when they met on Feb. 7. Still, Aldridge is playing well right now and I have a tough time going against the Spurs at home. They typically deliver and in what should be a competitive affair, the minutes and opportunities will be there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Julius Randle (vs PHO – $8,500): Needs 36.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 75.2 fantasy points against Portland. Randle continues to play well as the starter and he should have no issue getting his numbers against the Suns. It’s the Suns. He had 28.1 fantasy points in 28 minutes against them on Mar. 1. The minutes should be better in this one and if the minutes are better, the numbers will be better. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Paul Millsap (vs IND – $7,100): Needs 30.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.1 fantasy points against Dallas. Millsap had a huge game against the Mavericks and has been good more often than not since the All-Star break. He’s. Guy who knows how to raise his game going into the playoff stretch. And the Pacers are a team good enough to push the Nuggets and Millsap to be at their best. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
