High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Thomas Bryant (at NY – $7,600): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.25 fantasy points against San Antonio. The matchup is great for Bryant, it’s just a matter of how many minutes he’s going to get. And he’s definitely getting the minutes right now. And he gets to go up against the the Knicks. As you’re about to read, I love both the centers in this game. They should both get their numbers against one another. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (vs WAS – $7,100): Needs 34.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.25 fantasy points against Houston. Much like Bryant, this is about the matchup and whether or not he gets the minutes. And he’s definitely getting the minutes right now. The Wizards are a good matchup for him and as I just mentioned, I expect the two centers in this game to have a big impact and put up huge numbers. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (vs DEN – $7,000): Needs 33.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.75 fantasy points against Denver. Another guy who just needs the minutes to succeed. And with Nurkic out, the minutes will always be there for him. And with Jokic out of this game, it will make his life slightly easier. Although Mason Plumlee might be a tough assignment on him defensively. Still, Kanter gets numbers and this is a game where the numbers will be there for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
