High Value C

Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (4,800): Jokic had a big game on Sunday against Indy finishing with 33 fantasy points on 18 points, three assists, four steals, and a pair of rebounds. He has at least 23 fantasy points in each of his last four games, and he could be set up for expanded playing time if Jusuf Nurkic is out again tonight. Jokic is a solid cheap play tonight with upside against the Thunder if Nurkic is unable to start. With Nurkic- ∗∗ No Nurkic-∗∗∗∗

Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder (4,500): Another cheap option to take a look at in that game in Denver is the Thunder’s backup big man Enes Kanter who has taken advantage of the matchup against Denver for two solid games already this season. Kanter has averaged 16.5 points and nine rebounds against the Nuggets, and he’s always a good option if he can get on the floor and get into attack mode with the Thunder second unit. Over the last five games, he has only one game with over 16 fantasy points which makes him high-risk for tonight, but its the kind of matchup that plays into his hands. ∗∗∗

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (3,500): Turner had the best performance of his career on Sunday against Arthur and the Nuggets pouring in 25 points to go with seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocks for an impressive 42.25 fantasy points. He got increased playing time in part due to an injury to Ian Mahinmi. Mahinmi’s status for today’s game is still unclear, but Turner definitely got the Pacers’ and coach Frank Vogel’s attention with his monster game against the Nuggets and could be lined up for some extra playing time going forward. He’s still risky due to his undefined role, but if Mahinmi is out Turner should get a good opportunity again tonight against a good matchup in Phoenix. With Mahinmi-∗ No Mahinmi-∗∗∗
