High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Andre Drummond (at IND – $10,700): Needs 47 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 68.8 fantasy points against Portland. No Griffin means more Drummond. He’s been over 60 fantasy points in his last two games. Myles Turner can be a tough matchup but Drummond did have 60.7 fantasy points against them on Feb. 25. He’s always good for rebounds and he chips in with plenty of points. Again, with no Griffin in the lineup, Drummond should continue to produce in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (vs CHI – $8,000): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.8 fantasy points against Miami. If Mitchell starts, I assume he’s going to get big minutes. But once again, who the hell knows with the Knicks. But if he starts, the minutes should be there for him. The matchup is great at the Bulls have nothing going through their lineup but especially in the frontcourt. If he stars, you can take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Brook Lopez (at BKN – $6,700): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.7 fantasy points against Atlanta. With everyone sidelined for the Bucks, they will continue to need a strong outing from Lopez. And he’s the most reliable option on the team because you know what you’re going to get out of him on most nights. It’s a good matchup for Lopez and if the Bucks have closer to full roster, that should mean better news for Lopez. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
