High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Rudy Gobert (vs PHO – $9,400): Needs 41.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.8 fantasy points against Chicago. You can always spend big on Embiid or Vucevic but I’m not sure if either one of them will have the big outing that you need at that salary. Gobert might play limited minutes but even in limited minutes, he should be a big-time player against the Suns. He had 44.5 fantasy points against the Suns on Mar. 13. I’m expecting big things out of him in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jusuf Nurkic (vs BKN – $8,400): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.7 fantasy points against Detroit. Nurkic hasn’t been good in recent games, failing to crack 35 fantasy points in six of his last seven games. But I love this matchup for him and I have a good feeling that he’s going to produce in a big way. He had 46.9 fantasy points against the Nets on Feb. 21 and the Nets just have nothing going on in their frontcourt. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jonas Valanciunas (vs OKC – $8,100): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.3 fantasy points against Minnesota. Valanciunas has been fantastic for the Grizzlies and until I see him slip up, I’m going to continue to trust him. He had 39.1 fantasy points against the Thunder on Mar. 3. And that was a game without Conley. Conley makes his job much easier. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
