High Value SF

Nikola Mirotic-Chicago Bulls (4,700): Mirotic has scored 17 points in each of his last two games after putting up a donut last Wednesday against the Pacers. He had especially good peripherals on Friday to get to 41.5 fantasy points and followed that up with 23.1 fantasy points on Sunday in Toronto. He is getting pretty decent playing time with Joakim Noah out, but Bobby Portis and Doug McDermott still can swipe some minutes if they get hot or if matchups dictate. Mirotic is a solid play in a unsure SF pool, but there is still risk that he loses playing time against the Bucks tonight.-∗∗

Lance Thomas-New York Knicks (4,000): 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. ∗
