High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Draymond Green (vs POR – $9,000): Needs 40.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Houston. You know what you’re getting out Draymond, especially with Durant out of the lineup. He’s going to feast on this Blazers frontcourt because Enes Kanter and Zach Collins aren’t going to do anything about him. I love Draymond in this entire series. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (vs POR – $7,000): Needs 30.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35 fantasy points against Houston. It’s playoff Iguodala and you know what you’re getting out of playoff Iguodala. He’s been great during this run and with Durant out, he will continue to get the minutes and opportunities needed. He can contribute in all categories and if you want a mid-level Captain pick, Iguodala should be your choice. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at GS – $6,200): Needs 27.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 6.25 fantasy points against Denver. Aminu is the next highest salary on the list, which tells you all you need to know about the forward/center positions. He did average 25.7 fantasy points against the Warriors in the regular season if you’re looking for some confidence in him. And I would imagine that he’ll see more playing time than he did by the end of the Denver series due to the matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
