High Value PF

Cody Zeller-Charlotte Hornets (5,600): Zeller had a monster game against the Hawks on Wednesday with 19 points, ten boards, and three blocks for a total of 42 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last eight games, and he should be in a place to succeed offensively tonight against the Pelicans who allow the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers.  Zeller will have to deal with Davis on defense at times but should be near a double-double of production himself as well.. ∗∗∗

Amir Johnson-Boston Celtics (5,400): Johnson has been one of my best DraftKings daily picks over the last few days, and he’s been rolling since the start of the New Year. In his seven games in 2016, Johnson has five games with at least 27 fantasy points and is coming off his best performance of the season with he had 14 points, 18 rebounds, six assists, and two steals for a nice round 50 fantasy points against the Pacers on Wednesday.  He should again be a force to be reckoned with in the middle tonight at the TD Garden as the Celtics take on the struggling Suns. ∗∗∗∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers(4,900): In probably the most surprising stat line of the night last night, Tristan Thompson had 18 points and 14 rebounds against the Spurs in San Antonio.  He finished with 39.5 fantasy points and has at least 21 fantasy points in five of his last eight games.  He continues to get plenty of minutes up front as the Cavs’ starting center and will be ready to take on Dwight Howard tonight in Houston. ∗∗

Terrence Jones-Houston Rockets (4,700): Jones has had a down year from a fantasy perspective and lost a lot of playing time to Clint Capela.  He has been surging lately though with 14, 20, and 16 points in three of his last four games.  In each of those three contests he has played over 30 minutes and finished with over 26 fantasy points. If he keeps getting so much playing time, he will be a strong play going forward at such a cheap price. ∗∗∗

Nene Hilario-Washington Wizards (4,200): Nene had a sceomd solid game in a row on Wednesday filling in for the injured Marcin Gortat.  Hilario has 23 and 27.5 fantasy points in his two games since returning from his triceps injury and is a great value play tonight if you have to go cheap at PF. ∗∗∗∗
