MINNEAPOLIS, MN – APRIL 23: Clint Capela #15 of the Houston Rockets reacts to a call during the first quarter in Game Four of Round One of the 2018 NBA Playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 23, 2018 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

DeMarcus Cousins (at NO – $9,000): Needs 40.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.8 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Cousins has been down as the minutes haven’t been there. And there is no reason to think the minutes will be there in this game as the Warriors have nothing to play for. But this is a game Cousins probably wants to get at because of his recent history with the Pelicans. Even in limited minutes, he should put up huge numbers. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Clint Capela (at OKC – $8,900): Needs 40.0 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.6 fantasy points against Phoenix. I don’t know how much the Rockets are going to play in this game but they do have a little bit to play for as their seeding isn’t guaranteed. But D’Antoni has said he wants to rest guys and Houston seems comfortable facing anyone. Capela usually plays well against the Thunder and he should keep playing well in this one assuming the minutes are there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Enes Kanter (at LAL – $7,600): Needs 34.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.1 fantasy points against Denver. Kanter was down against the Nuggets but I’m not worried about him in this game. The Blazers are still playing for seeding and they are up against the Lakers. Numbers are never an issue for Kanter and the Lakers don’t have the talent to expose him on defense. He remains at a good salary compared to the rest of the field. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
