High Value PF

Cody Zeller-Charlotte Hornets (5,200): Zeller had a monster game against the Hawks on Wednesday with 19 points, ten boards, and three blocks for a total of 39.5 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.. ∗∗∗

Terrence Jones-Houston Rockets (4,800): 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. ∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers(4,500): 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 36.3 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. ∗∗

Mirza Teletovic-Phoenix Suns (4,300): Teletovic has taken up a huge chunk of the scoring load in Phoenix after the injury to Eric Bledsoe.  He has at least 13 points in six straight games and has reached 25 fantasy points in three of his last four contests.  He is still coming off the bench for Phoenix and their rotation is a mess, but he is one of the few Suns’ options who can be counted on for reliable scoring especially when his long-range shot is dropping. ∗∗∗

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 22.4 and 25.9.5 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. ∗∗∗∗
