High Value PF

Cody Zeller-Charlotte Hornets (5,500): Given his current role with the Hornets, Zeller is a low-risk play tonight against the Hawks since he’ll log plenty of minutes in the front court. He has at least 21 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games with three games of at least 30 fantasy points in his last seven. He is usually around a low-level double-double, and he and the Hornets always play much better at “The Hive” where they’ll host the Hawks tonight. ∗∗

Amir Johnson-Boston Celtics (4,900): Johnson played just 26 minutes last night against the Knicks but still had 25 fantasy points. He has at least 20 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games, and as long as you don’t have to watch him try to shoot three-pointers, his final numbers have been pretty solid lately as he continues to establish himself as the starter for the C’s alongside Kelly Olynyk, Jared Sullinger, or whoever else coach Brad Stevens shuffles in next to him. Despite the changing minutes, Johnson’s have been pretty stable lately, so he’s a solid cheap play against the Pacers tonight. ∗∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (4,900): Parker has scored in double-digits in six straight games for the Bucks after pouring in 16 last night against the Bulls. He has at least 24 fantasy points in three of his last five games thanks to solid rebounds and steals numbers as well. With the Wizards thinned out in the front court, look for Parker to have another solid game tonight especially since he played slightly reduced minutes (27) last night. ∗∗

Nene Hilario-Washington Wizards (4,100): Nene made a spot start for Marcin Gortat on Monday and finished with 23 fantasy points in 20 minutes on 14 points, two rebounds, and two assists. He could be in line for another start tonight against the Bucks since Gortat hasn’t been released from the hospital where he was being looked at for an infection in his knee. If Nene starts, he’s a solid cheap play tonight. If no Gortat-∗∗∗
