High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Nikola Jokic (at OKC – $9,400): Needs 44.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38 fantasy points against Houston. It wasn’t a great night for Jokic against the Rockets but trust him to bounce back in this one. He always dominates this matchup against the Thunder and has been over 60 fantasy points in his last two games against them. Unless the Nuggets have just packed it in for the regular season, they’ll bounce back in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Rudy Gobert (vs WAS – $7,800): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.25 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Even in limited minutes, this should be a good night for Gobert. The Wizards don’t offer much in terms of resistance and we know Gobert can easily get a double-double while also chipping in with blocks. He’s at a very good salary given his usual production. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMarcus Cousins (at MIN – $7,100): Needs 33.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.25 fantasy points against Memphis. Cousins continues to play well and he was over 30 minutes against the Grizzlies. Maybe that will be his norm moving forward but even if it’s not, he’s shown that he can put up good numbers in limited minutes. He typically gets the better of Karl-Anthony Towns in a big way as well. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
