High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Blake Griffin (vs POR – $9,000): Needs 38.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.5 fantasy points against Orlando. Griffin has settled into a nice spot and even though he had just 39.4 fantasy points against the Blazers on Mar. 23, that was a different Blazers squad as they had Nurkic. The Blazers are on a back-to-back and they haven’t been tested in the two games without Nurkic like they will be tested against the Pistons. Griffin will step up in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Bam Adebayo (at NY – $7,200): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.7 fantasy points against Dallas. You can always spend a bit more and grab Pascal Siakam. But I worry the matchup is a little too good and he doesn’t get the minutes he needs to deliver. There’s that same concern with Adebayo, but he’s a cheaper option and Miami isn’t as good as the Raptors. Adebayo can do more with less than Siakam. He does a bit of everything and is in for another strong outing because it’s the Knicks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at MIN – $7,000): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris has been a bit down in his last three games but I’m not concerned on Saturday. His salary has dropped, the Timberwolves are on a back-to-back, and Embiid is out of the lineup. Expect Harris’ production to tick up in this game. He’ll get his scoring and rebounding numbers in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
