High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $12,000

Kevin Durant (at LAC – $17,000): Needs 69.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 69.2 fantasy points against LA Clippers. You can rarely go wrong with Kevin Durant but as I said earlier, this feels like a Curry game more than a Durant game. Still, he’s Kevin Durant. You know who he is. He gets buckets. You know what he does. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs GS – $13,000): Needs 53.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.4 fantasy points against Golden State. Gallinari has been a reliable option for most of the series and he’s worthy of being one of your top three picks in this spot. He’s just been consistent all season and he’s the second scoring option on the team after Lou Williams. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Draymond Green (at LAC – $12,500): Needs 54.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.4 fantasy points against LA Clippers. I expect more from Draymond in this game. I don’t know if he’s going to deliver but he’s obviously going to get the minutes and we know he can do a bit of everything. Whether or not he’s able to do it remains to be seen. But I always expect Draymond to be around value. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
