High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Jokic (at OKC – $10,500): Needs 46 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.6 fantasy points against Houston. It was a down game for Jokic against the Rockets but like I’ve been saying with the Nuggets, expect him to bounce back in this game. He had 62.8 fantasy points against the Thunder on Feb. 26 and the Nuggets ended up getting a little bit of rest thanks to the Rockets blowout. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Rudy Gobert (vs WAS – $10,300): Needs 45.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.2 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Gobert continues to put up strong numbers and even though the salary is high on Friday, he gets to go up against the Wizards defense and their weak frontcourt. He should get plenty of points and rebounds while chipping in with blocks. Expect him to keep delivering. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

DeMarcus Cousins (at MIN – $8,600): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.8 fantasy points against Memphis. You typically know what you’re getting with Cousins as a member of the Warriors. Even in limited minutes, he keeps putting up numbers because the Warriors know he’s a luxury. And they get to go up against the Timberwolves defense, which isn’t really a defense. Cousins will provide strong value once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
