High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

John Collins (at ORL – $7,500): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.75 fantasy points against Boston. Collins has been fantastic over the last couple of weeks and even though it’s a back-to-back for the Hawks, I love the way he’s playing right now and I’m not going to doubt him until he shows signs of slipping. The Magic will play with the Hawks pace and Collins has just been too good to deny as of late. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lauri Markkanen (at SAC – $7,300): Needs 34.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Markkanen hasn’t been good in his last two games but I have to trust this matchup. The Kings are always an easy bet against with their pace and we know what Markkanen is capable of. At some point, he has to break out of his slump and the Kings present him with a great opportunity to do just that. I’m not in love with his game right now, but I am in love with his game overall and this matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (vs BKN – $6,600): Needs 31.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.25 fantasy points against Chicago. Harrell has been great outside of a rough outing against the Thunder since the break. And now he gets a great matchup against the Nets, who don’t have much going on in their frontcourt. Even in limited minutes, Harrell is going to get his numbers in this one. I love Harrell on Sunday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
