High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Kevin Durant (at LAC – $11,400): Needs 52.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 69.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Durant had his fun in the last couple of games. Time for the splash brothers to have their fun. You can rarely go wrong with Durant because he’s always going to get his numbers. But I don’t like him quite as much in this game because if feels like a Steph/Klay game to me. But he’s still Kevin Durant. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs GS – $8,600): Needs 39.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Gallinari continues to truck along in this series. You know what you’re getting out of him on most nights and he continues to produce. The ceiling is high because he’s going to get the minutes and opportunities. If you want a reliable option at a good price, Gallinari will rarely go wrong for you. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Montrezl Harrell (vs GS – $8,000): Needs 39.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Harrell looked more like himself in the last game and it’s no surprise that the Clippers managed to win. Can he do it again? It remains to be seen. He wasn’t good in the other two games in Los Angeles, which is a bit concerning because players should be better at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
