High Value PF

Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,900): Ibaka has averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 4.0 blocks against the Nuggets so far this season, and he should be ready to take on the Denver PF rotation again tonight.  He failed to record a block against the Heat on Sunday snapping a string of four straight games with multiple swats.  He did still manage 29.75 fantasy points with 19 points and seven boards against Miami giving him at least that many fantasy points in three straight games.  In a plus matchup in the Mile High City, look for a big game from Ibaka tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Darrell Arthur-Denver Nuggets (4,900): Arthur came off the bench on Sunday but still played 23 minutes and finished with 20.75 fantasy points on seven points, five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in four of his last six games, and he continues to get plenty of opportunity to produce for coach Mike Malone.  As long as Jusuf Nurkic is still out for Denver, Arthur will get  enough time to be a good cheap option tonight. ∗

John Henson-Milwaukee Bucks (4,000): I’ve long been a Henson fan, but he just doesn’t get consistent enough playing time to count on him on a nightly basis.  He has put up at least 22 fantasy points in four of his last six games, but his high-risk factor is easy to see by looking at the other two games during that stretch when he put up just 6.5 and 3.25 fantasy points. Tonight, the Bucks would appear to need his size down low against Bosh and Whiteside, so I am rolling the dice on Henson tonight even though he is still a high-risk play. ∗∗
