High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Mitchell Robinson (vs WAS – $8,400): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.3 fantasy points against Houston. It looks like Jokic is out for the Nuggets but if he does play, you can take him. But I’m all about saving the money at the center position because there’s some good value. Robinson is getting the minutes in a big way and as long as the minutes are there, he’s a reliable option. Especially against this opponent. He should have no problem getting numbers against the Wizards. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Thomas Bryant (at NY – $7,800): Needs 34.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.4 fantasy points against San Antonio. Much like Robinson, Bryant is getting the minutes right now and he’s performing in a big way on most nights. And much like Robinson gets the Wizards, Bryant gets the Knicks. Both centers should have no issue getting their numbers in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (vs DEN – $7,200): Needs 32.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.4 fantasy points against Denver. Kanter just had a pretty strong game against the Nuggets and I expect him to play a bit better at home. You rarely have to worry about Kanter when the numbers are there and the numbers are there in a big way right now. No Jokic will certainly help his cause in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
