High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (vs ORL – $8,600): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.2 fantasy points against Orlando. Aldridge is the more reliable option if you want to go with him. But Siakam has shown to have a higher ceiling. This really depends on who you think will have the big game between Kawhi and Siakam. Not that it’s impossible for both to have a strong night, but it seems like a pick your poison for the Magic. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs BKN – $8,300): Needs 36.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.6 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris continues to have his shooting touch going and even though Embiid cuts into his overall opportunities, the Sixers need the shooting and Harris has it going right now. Aaron Gordon is a reliable option at his salary but hasn’t shown much of a ceiling. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Al-Farouq Aminu (vs OKC – $5,500): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.8 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. I’ve loved Aminu all series and he hasn’t given me a reason to go against him. Until I see him have a rough outing, I’m going to continue to trust him, especially at home. This should be another strong night for Aminu. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Serge Ibaka (vs ORL – $5,100): Needs 22.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.1 fantasy points against Orlando. Ibaka isn’t getting big minutes but he’s getting enough minutes and making some kind of impact. He’s also at a good enough salary given the production he’s been giving. He’s a reliable option if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.
