High Value PF

Ersan Ilyasova-Detroit Pistons (5,800): The Rockets have still given up more fantasy points to opposing PF than any team in the NBA setting Ilyasova up for a good matchup tonight. He has at least 27 fantasy points in each of his last three games and in four of his last five.  In those five games, he has averaged 14.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.0 assets, and 1.0 steals.  He should be a good bet for a double-double based on his recent form and the solid matchup. ∗∗∗∗

Julius Randle-Los Angeles Lakers (5,500): Randle may have broken his nose on Sunday, but he did have a double-double with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 29.2 fantasy points even though he didn’t play much in the fourth quarter.  He will continue to come off the bench behind Larry Nance once the rookie is healthy, but Nance won’t be ready to return tonight making Randle a very good play against the Kings tonight as long as he’s cleared from his nose injury to play tonight. ∗∗∗

Derrick Williams-New York Knicks (4,400): Williams will be worth a look only if Kristaps Porzingis isn’t able to play (questionable-foot).  He has shown he can produce when given playing time with three games last week with over 13 points and over 23 fantasy points, but with Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony healthy he doesn’t get enough minutes to be reliable. If Porzingis plays-no stars. If Porzingis is out-∗∗∗∗

Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (4,200): Kaminsky has at least 14 points in four of his last five games and is playing at least 25 minutes a night in the current Hornets’ rotation.  He has 20 fantasy points in each of those five games and is a very solid cheap play against the Thunder tonight. ∗∗∗∗
