High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (vs ORL – $8,000): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.5 fantasy points against New York. You know what you’re getting from Siakam on most nights. Kawhi and Lowry can sit back and Siakam can take over as the third-best player on the second-best team. He had 33.7 fantasy points against the Magic on Feb. 24, which would be a little light on this night, but I like the circumstances for Siakam on Monday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at DAL – $7,200): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.4 fantasy points against Minnesota. No Embiid means more Harris. He was down a bit with Embiid in. The lineup but with the Sixers center sidelined, Harris will continue to see more rebounding opportunities to go along with his scoring. The matchup is great as the Mavericks don’t play defense and are on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (at TOR – $7,000): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.5 fantasy points against Indiana. Gordon can be all over the place but he’s settled into a nice salary and showed a high ceiling against the Pacers. The problem is, he hasn’t been very good against the Raptors this season, failing to crack 23 fantasy points in two of three games. But this Raptors team doesn’t have anything to play for and the Magic are giving full effort heading into the playoffs. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
