High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Tobias Harris (at CHI – $7,200): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.25 fantasy points against Milwaukee. If Embiid is out of the lineup, that will certainly help Harris reach a higher ceiling. Either way, Harris is a reliable option given his salary, the circumstances, and the matchup on Saturday. The scoring and rebounding should be there for him. They could even get him some rest in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jakarr Sampson (vs PHI – $5,000): Needs 22.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Washington. Sampson has been over 34 fantasy points in his last two games. Even coming off the bench, he’s getting good minutes. The matchup is tougher than Washington and New York but with Porter Jr. out of the lineup, Sampson will continue to get a chance. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (vs PHI – $4,300): Needs 19.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.25 fantasy points against Washington. TLC has been the man to draw the start in the last couple of games for the Bulls and he too was actually better coming off the bench. He’s at a great salary, which certainly helps. I don’t hate his game, he’s playing well, and it’s not like the Sixers defense is anything special at the moment. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.
