High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Thomas Bryant (at DEN – $6,900): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Utah. If you want to spend more, you can always go with LaMarcus Aldridge in this position. But his salary might be a tad too high given the matchup, especially if the Kings aren’t into things. Meanwhile, Bryant is getting big minutes and we know he has a high ceiling. He had 36 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Mar. 21. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (vs MEM – $6,600): Needs 31 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.5 fantasy points against Cleveland. As long as the minutes are there for Harrell, he will continue to produce. And the minutes should be there enough in this one against the Grizzlies. He has a high ceiling but if nothing else, he’s at a good salary and should easily get you value in this one. And with Gallinari out, that should ensure the minutes will be there. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Bobby Portis (at DEN – $6,300): Needs 29.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.25 fantasy points against Utah. Portis can be up-and-down but as we saw against the Jazz, his big games can be very big. He had 30.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Mar. 21. And your options are limited on the main slate with only four games on the table. The ceiling is high, but at Denver, there are some red flags in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
