High Value C

Amir Johnson-Boston Celtics (5,500): Johnson had just 24 fantasy points last night, but that was largely due to the Celtics resting their starters as they cruised past the Suns.  They’ll take on the Wizards tonight who may be without Marcin Gortat, but either way look for Johnson to pick up where he left off before last night when he was tearing up the league.  He had 14 points, 18 rebounds, and six assists on Wednesday for 47.6 fantasy points and has at least 24 fantasy points in seven of his lsat eight contests.  He’s a reliable pick right now as he plays a key role in the C’s starting lineup. ∗∗∗∗∗

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (4,700): Lopez is a solid bargain tonight coming into play with at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last seven games.  He is in a very tough matchup against the Grizzlies, so temper expectation a bit, although he should be able to still get his work done on the glass. ∗∗

Cole Aldrich-Los Angeles Clippers (3,800): When DeAndre Jordan was sidelined on Wednesday, Aldrich got a spot start and came through in a big way with 19 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and a steal for a total of 31.9 fantasy points. Right now, Jordan is questionable for tonight’s game, and Aldrich would be a great play against the Kings if he starts in his place again. Even if Jordan plays, Aldrich should have earned enough time to be able to produce around 20 fantasy points coming off the bench behind him. With Jordan-∗ Without Jordan-∗∗∗∗∗
