High Value SF

Trevor Ariza-Houston Rockets (5,200): Ariza is a steady but not spectacular contributor for the Rockets, but he is low risk given his solid playing time and well-defined role. Ariza has double-digit scoring in five straight games and has at least 23 fantasy points in five of his last ten games. He had 13 points, four rebounds, and four steals against the Jazz on Monday, and he should be near his 27.5 fantasy points from that contest again tonight against the Jazz.∗∗∗

Thabo Sefolosha-Atlanta Hawks (3,900): If you decide to punt a SF spot since there aren’t a lot of great options below Ariza, the best ultra-cheap option on the board tonight is Thabo Sefolosha who plays an important role in the Atlanta wing rotation. Sefolosha has played at least 20 minutes in each of his last seven games and has at least 17 fantasy points in five of his last nine contests. He had a big game against the Pacers just before the New Year finishing with 30.75 fantasy points giving him enough upside to be the best play this cheap in a tricky SF roster slot tonight.∗∗
