High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (at CHA – $7,600): Needs 32 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Siakam has been up-and-down in his last five games. He was up against the Nets, so if the trend holds, he’ll be down in this game. But I expect him to break the trend given the matchup. He should easily be able to take advantage of the weak Hornets frontcourt. He had 39.9 fantasy points against them on Mar. 24. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Bam Adebayo (at MIN – $7,500): Needs 31.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.4 fantasy points against Boston. Adebayo has been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. With Miami missing some key guys, Adebayo has stepped up in a. Big way. He can do a bit of everything and he should have no problem getting numbers against the Timberwolves. This is the last stand for Miami. Take advantage of that. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (vs ATL – $7,300): Needs 30.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.4 fantasy points against New York. Gordon can be all over the place but he’s been playing well as of late and he’s up against the Hawks. He had 37.1 fantasy points against them on Mar. 17. It’s a matchup that favors him and one he should be able to take advantage of. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
