High Value SF

Luol Deng-Miami Heat (4,500): While Miami is gasping to the end of their road trip, Deng continues to be one of the most solid options on the team.  The veteran has played over 32 minutes in four straight games and has produced at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last five.  He isn’t flashy, but he’s a steady, cheap option for tonight who should again log plenty of minutes tonight against the Thunder. ∗∗∗

Anthony Brown-Los Angeles Lakers (3,500): If you decide to punt one of the SF spots in your lineup tonight to allow you to get bigger names elsewhere, check out Anthony Brown who logs a ton of minutes for the Lakers whenever Kobe can’t go.  Last night, Kobe started but left early against the Jazz leaving Brown to play 27 minutes and finish with nine points and seven rebounds (17.4 fantasy points). He’ll play over 20 minutes at least tonight against the Rockets who allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing SF.  He hasn’t produced a ton even in his expanded minutes, but he’s the best bargain basement SF to look at tonight. ∗
