High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Pascal Siakam (vs ORL – $8,300): Needs 39 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.75 fantasy points against New York. You know what you’re getting out of Siakam on most nights and even though the Raptors don’t have anything to play for, his salary has jumped and he should still deliver in this matchup. It’s a slow night at the position with all the injuries and Siakam is always a reliable option with a high ceiling. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (at TOR – $7,100): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53 fantasy points against Indiana. Much like Wiggins, you never know what you’re going to get out of Gordon. But he’s been playing very well as of late and remains at a good enough salary given his minutes and opportunities. And while the Raptors can be a tough matchup, I like the way Orlando should be playing down the stretch and maybe this is the time for Gordon to rise up and really prove himself. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Domantas Sabonis (vs DET – $6,400): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.5 fantasy points against Orlando. You never know what you’re going to get out of Sabonis. He has a high ceiling but the minutes can be all over the place and he’s not exactly the most reliable option. But he’s played well against the Pistons this year, going over 36 fantasy points in two of his three games. And with Blake Griffin out of the lineup, Sabonis should deliver once again. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
