High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

John Collins (at ORL – $9,100): Needs 39.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.2 fantasy points against Boston. Collins has been fantastic over the last four games and even though this is a back-to-back, I’m not going to doubt his game right now. He hasn’t been good against the Magic this season, but I trust him to keep his current roll going. The points and rebounds should be there. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (vs BKN – $7,800): Needs 33.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45 fantasy points against Chicago. Harrell has been great in his last three games and really every game outside of the OKC game on Mar. 8. The matchup is great as the Nets don’t have much in their frontcourt and they are on a back-to-back. This should be another strong night for Harrell off the bench. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lauri Markkanen (at SAC – $7,700): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.1 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Right now, Aaron Gordon is the more reliable player. But I have to trust that Markkanen will bounce back at some point, especially against this matchup. If he doesn’t perform in this game, then it might be time to give up on him. But this matchup is too good. If you want the more reliable guy, take Gordon. If you want the higher ceiling, taking Markkanen. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
