High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Andre Drummond (at OKC – $9,900): Needs 47.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 67.75 fantasy points against Indiana. As long as Blake Griffin remains out of the lineup, Drummond should continue to get it done for the Pistons. He won’t have to battle anyone else for those rebounds. And the Thunder miss a lot of shots because Westbrook is going to take a lot of shots. He’s never been great against Steven Adams, but he’s playing great right now and Griffin being out makes him a strong option. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Nikola Vucevic (vs ATL – $9,600): Needs 46.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.25 fantasy points against New York. Vucevic has been up-and-down in recent contests but he’s going up against the Hawks on Friday. He had 63 fantasy points against the Hawks on Mar. 17 and is averaging 53.5 fantasy points in three games against them this season. This is his matchup and he’ll get his numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (at DEN – $6,900): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.25 fantasy points against Memphis. Kanter has been over 40 fantasy points in his last three games. With Nurkic out of the lineup, Kanter is getting more comfortable as the starter and even though Denver can be tough, someone has to get these numbers for the Blazers frontcourt. And Kanter is obviously the top option. The minutes will continue to be there and when the minutes are there, he produces. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
