High Value C

Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,100): The Hornets don’t have Al Jefferson and they don’t typically get much else from their big men offensively, so Kanter should be able to get extra playing time tonight since Steven Adams won’t be needed as a shutdown defensive big man.  Kanter had four straight games with at least 14 points and at least eight rebounds snapped on Thursday against the Suns when he only played 14 minutes.  He’ll look to bounce back to that level of 30 or more fantasy points tonight as OKC takes on the under-manned Hornets who will also be on a back-t0-back. ∗∗

Andrew Bogut-Golden State Warriors (4,600): Bogut played 36 minutes on Thursday in Houston as the Warriors continued to go without Festus Ezeli as well as Steph Curry.  Bogut finished with 23.75 fantasy points on nine points, 11 rebounds, an assist, and a block.  He has at least 19 fantasy points in each of his last five games and in nine of his last ten. He’s low-risk tonight against the Nuggets where he’ll definitely find space to operate, but his minutes could be limited due to Ezeli’s possible return or the game going 100% small-ball. ∗∗∗

Lavoy Allen-Indiana Pacers (3,900): Allen has played well the last two games in the absence of Jordan Hill and the injury to Ian Mahinmi.  He had a double-double in the Pacers overtime loss to Chicago on Wednesday and followed that up with a solid 14-point performance against the Bucks on Thursday.  He had 25+ fantasy points in both of those contests and will be worth a look again tonight if both Mahinmi and Hill are sidelined. With Mahinmi and Hill-∗, without Mahinmi or Hill-∗∗, without both Mahinmi and Hill-∗∗∗ 

Boban Marjanovic-San Antonio Spurs (3,300): Marjanovic has made a little bit of a splash for the Spurs while Tim Duncan has been sidelined with knee soreness, and he could continue to carry value even though Duncan is expected to return tonight against the Rockets.  Marjanovic played 15 minutes in each of San Antonio’s last three games and had 25.5, 25.0, and 25.75 fantasy points on solid points, rebounds, and blocks.  He’s a great per-minute contributor and could be worth a flier if you have to go cheap at center.  Tonight should give us a good idea of what to expect (if anything) from Marjanovic with Duncan available. ∗∗
