High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Nikola Vucevic (vs ATL – $9,700): Needs 43.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.1 fantasy points against New York. Vucevic had been down prior to his bounce-back game against the Knicks. But this is a great matchup for I’m and one he’s done very well against this season. He had 62.5 fantasy points in his last game against the Hawks on Mar. 17 and is averaging 52.4 fantasy points in three games against them. The Hawks are always a strong matchup for any top player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (at DEN – $7,200): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46 fantasy points against Memphis. Kanter has been over 41 fantasy points in his last three games. He’s stepped up and found his rhythm as a member of the starting lineup and we know that numbers are never an issue for Kanter when he does get the minutes. The Nuggets are good but he can battle with Jokic. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Steven Adams (vs DET – $7,200): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.1 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Adams has been over 40 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He’s become a featured part of the Thunder offense as of late but he can always fall off because you never know with the Thunder offense. He typically does well against Andre Drummond and he remains at a good enough salary given the minutes and opportunities. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
