High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Julius Randle (at ORL – $8,300): Needs 39.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.75 fantasy points against Dallas. Randle continues to play well for the Pelicans as they need anything out of their frontcourt and Randle is by far their best option. He and Payton are doing plenty with their offense even though neither of them can play a lick of defense. But we aren’t worried about defense in DFS. And Randle plays the one way you need him to play. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs MIA – $7,900): Needs 37.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Do you know how to beat a zone? You park a guy in the middle of it and have him shoot midrange shots all day. Do you know who has never missed a midrange shot? LaMarcus Aldridge. He is going to destroy the Miami zone in a big way because you should never doubt Pop, especially at home. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (vs NO – $7,200): Needs 33.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39 fantasy points against Atlanta. Gordon has become a reliable player thanks to some good matchup. And the Pelicans are another good matchup. I still don’t fully trust Gordon because he’s let me down so many times. But he’s playing well right now and this matchup is too good to pass up on. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
