High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Rudy Gobert (vs PHO – $8,000): Needs 38.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51 fantasy points against Chicago. Gobert can be a mixed bag but the Suns are one team he levels out against. He’s averaging 42.9 fantasy points in his last six games against the suns and in two games this season, he’s been at 47 fantasy points. So, in conclusion, he’ll be at 47 fantasy points. The matchup is good and he’s a reliable double-double player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jonas Valanciunas (vs OKC – $7,100): Needs 34.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48 fantasy points against Minnesota. Valanciunas has been great for the Grizzlies since the trade. Steven Adams can be a tough matchup but this isn’t quite the same Steven Adams. Valanciunas had 39.75 fantasy points against the Thunder on Mar. 3. I love this play on Monday unless Adams reverts to form. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (vs BKN – $6,900): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30 fantasy points against Detroit. Nurkic has been down in the last three games but his salary has dropped to a more reasonable level and it’s the Nets frontcourt. Everyone seems to feast on the Nets frontcourt. He had 48.5 fantasy points against the Nets on Feb. 21. This should be a nice scoring and rebounding game for Nurkic. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
