High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Andre Drummond (vs MIL – $9,800): Needs44.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.2 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Embiid looks to be out and I’m not in love with Gobert or Jokic. Although Jokic does have a higher ceiling. Drummond still has a high ceiling, especially with Griffin out of the lineup. And maybe this is the time where the Pistons show a little life. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Clint Capela (at UTA – $8,300): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Utah. I continue to love Capela in this series because he’s a reliable option at center and has a high ceiling. He’s proven to be a better option than Gobert, or at least a similar option at a lesser salary. And if the Jazz can make it competitive, that’s better news for Capela. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Boban Marjanovic (at BKN – $5,800): Needs 26.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.1 fantasy points against Brooklyn. With Embiid out, Boban will continue to get decent minutes. The Nets frontcourt doesn’t have an answer for anyone on the Sixers and Boban can get easy points and rebounds because he’s Boban. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Greg Monroe (at BKN – $5,300): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.1 fantasy points against Brooklyn. But if you want to save money, you can go with Monroe. He’s drawing the start for Philly and looked good in Game 3. Once again, the Nets don’t have an answer in the frontcourt and Monroe has proven that he can get numbers. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
