High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (vs OKC – $8,400): Needs 36.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 61.6 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Siakam had a huge game against OKC on Wednesday and while I don’t think he’ll quite hit that level in this game, it’s shown that he’s an issue for them as he can do a bit of everything. And he’s been a reliable option all season so why doubt him now? He remains at a very good salary given his usual production and if the Thunder don’t end up adjusting, he’ll burn them again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (at CLE – $8,300): Needs 35.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.4 fantasy points against Indiana. Harrell has been over 40 fantasy points in four straight games. And now he gets the Cavaliers. Even though Love will likely be in the lineup, he’s not exactly proven he can stay healthy and the Cavs may end up playing him fewer minutes because why risk it? Either way, Harrell is playing great and should be in for another strong night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (vs MEM – $7,800): Needs 33.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.4 fantasy points against New Orleans. Alright, Aaron Gordon is officially reliable. Now watch him burn out in this game. He’s been playing very well in recent weeks and I will trust him to keep it up even though the Grizzlies pace isn’t exactly favorable. But the Magic are a desperate team and I like the way Gordon is playing right now. So he should continue to get it done. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
