High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

LaMarcus Aldridge (vs ATL – $9,900): Needs 42 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 62.1 fantasy points against Sacramento. This feels like a LaMarcus Aldridge game. With no John Collins or Dewayne Dedmon, the Hawks don’t have much going on in their frontcourt and we know Aldridge can produce in a big way with his scoring and rebounding. He had 47.8 fantasy points against the Hawks on Mar. 6 and I’m expecting a similar game, if not better, out of him on Tuesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Paul Millsap (at GS – $7,200): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.7 fantasy points against Washington. Millsap can be all over the place and he hasn’t exactly performed well against the Warriors this season, averaging just 19.2 fantasy points in three games against them. But your options are limited with illness/rest and Millsap is due for a big game against them at some point, right? If MB3 ends up playing, you can take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (vs DEN – $7,000): Needs 29.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. Draymond makes it pretty easy for himself to at least hit value given the team he plays for. His salary has jumped but Green should do enough to at least hit value just because he can do a bit of everything and he’s on the Warriors. Again, if MB3 plays, he has a higher ceiling. But Green might be the overall more reliable player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.
