High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Aaron Gordon (vs MEM – $7,500): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. Gordon has turned himself into a reliable player and that’s something that I never really thought I would see. But he’s playing great right now and until he shows signs of slipping, I will continue to trust him. The matchup can be tough because the Grizzlies lack of pace but I like Gordon’s game right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs OKC – $7,200): Needs 34.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.75 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. I’m not sure you’ll see quite the same game out of Siakam as you did from him on Wednesday when their teams met but it’s nice to know that he has that kind of ceiling. And he remains a matchup issue for them with his all-around talent. He’s been a reliable option for most of the season and they’ll likely continue to feed him based on how he performed on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (at CLE – $6,800): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.5 fantasy points against Indiana. Harrell has been over 42 fantasy points in his last four games. And now he gets a great matchup against the Cavaliers. This should be another big game for Harrell based on his recent play and the matchup. The minutes are there for him in a big way and he’s always put up big numbers when the minutes have been there. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
