High Value SF

Kent Bazemore-Atlanta Hawks (5,800): Bazemore had 18 points against the Knicks on Sunday in just 27 minutes as the Hawks fell behind and weren’t able to climb back into the game.  They’ll look to take their home half of the home-and-home set tonight, and Bazemore is a solid option given his strong run of play lately.  He has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last three games and at least 25 fantasy points in seven of his last ten.  While he isn’t the team’s first offensive option, his contributions across the board are enough to earn him a look under 6K tonight. ∗∗∗

Lance Thomas-New York Knicks (3,700): Thomas only finished with two points in his 27 minutes on Sunday, but he does continue to get plenty of time on the floor for the Knicks which is enough to make him the best value play in a bad bunch tonight.  He has scored in double-digits in seven of his last ten games, but he can also disappear if other options are heating it up on the offensive end. ∗

Anthony Brown-Los Angeles Lakers (3,200): The SF position is such a mess that you might just want to punt the whole thing away. If you do, the best option in the ultra-cheap pool is Anthony Brown since he gets lots of minutes when Kobe is unavailable.  On Sunday, Brown played 30 minutes against the Suns and finished with 14.75 fantasy points. He has double-digit fantasy points in each of his last four games with the Lakers, and he’ll get enough time to be a dice-roll today especially if Kobe is sidelined. With Kobe-∗, Without Kobe-∗∗
