High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Blake Griffin (vs POR – $8,100): Needs 38 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43 fantasy points against Orlando. Griffin can be a bit up-and-down but he’s settled into a nice spot right now and he gets a good matchup against the Blazers. He has 41 fantasy points against the Blazers on Mar. 23. He doesn’t have to deal with Nurkic this time out, which should certainly help him. I like him to at least be at value in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at CHI – $7,900): Needs 37.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.75 fantasy points against New York. With Kawhi out of the lineup, it should be another good night for Siakam. He should have no issue against the Bulls because the Bulls are terrible. And with no Kawhi, this becomes Siakam’s team. Sorry, Kyle Lowry. Minutes could be a concern in this game and this is a high salary for him if he only plays 20 minutes. But it’s a slow night with all the injuries and there are a lot of things work in Siakam’s favor on Saturday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Domantas Sabonis (vs ORL – $6,400): Needs 30 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against Boston. As mentioned above, it’s a slow night at the position and even though Sabonis is on a back-to-back, he makes this list. He had just 11.5 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 31, which is a concern. And he can be a bit erratic because the minutes aren’t always there. But the ceiling is high. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
