High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Clint Capela (at OKC – $7,500): Needs 36.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.75 fantasy points against Phoenix. I don’t know the Rockets mindset in this game. They haven’t locked up third but they also don’t seem concerned about the matchup and D’Antoni has said they want to rest guys in the final week. But this should be a close game and I’m not sure D’Antoni can help himself. Capela typically plays well against the Thunder and he’s at a good enough salary even in limited minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (at LAL – $7,100): Needs 34.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.75 fantasy points against Denver. Don’t be concerned about Kanter’s game against the Nuggets. He should have been better but things happen. But now he gets the Lakers, which is a very easy matchup for him and one he should be able to take advantage of in a big way. I love Kanter in this game and he should be in for a big outing. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMarcus Cousins (at NO – $6,900): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.25 fantasy points against LA Clippers. I love Cousins in this game. His salary has dropped and even in limited minutes, he should be in for a big night because he’s going up against the Pelicans. And you know he wants to stick it to the Pelicans just a little bit due to everything that happened last season and the offseason. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
