High Value SF

Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,200): Morris had 29.5 fantasy points for my FanDuel picks last night in 37 minutes in a great matchup against the Rockets. Tonight’s matchup against the Pelicans isn’t quite as good, but he has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last three games and is getting so much playing time that he should be able to deliver a good stat line once again. ∗∗∗

Jeff Green-Memphis Grizzlies (4,700): Green is such a streaky option that he can be high risk due to his hit-and-miss production. He does have at least 16 points in four of his last six games including 16 points and nine rebounds which he posted against the Nuggets two weeks ago when these teams met. Green has at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last six, but he also has thrown in a few clunkers so be aware of the risk if to go with Uncle Jeff tonight. ∗∗

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (4,700): Tucker is the opposite of Green in many ways since he is a steady, solid producer who doesn’t flash a ton of upside but is almost always reliable for at least 20 fantasy points. He has at least 20 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games and played 45 minutes against the Pacers on Tuesday on his way to 30.5 fantasy points on 12 points, ten rebounds, and five assists. He probably won’t play that much against the Spurs tonight, but he’s clearly ahead of T.J. Warren (also dealing with a knee injury) and should be a solid low-risk, low-upside play tonight. ∗∗∗

Stanley Johnson-Detroit Pistons (3,800): If you have to go extra-cheap at SF, check out the Pistons rookie who could pick up some extra minutes as the team completes their back-to-back in the Big Easy against the Pelicans. Johnson had 21.8 fantasy points last night on seven points, nine rebounds, two assists, a block, and a steal and he has at least 18 fantasy points in three of his last four games and six of his last eight. ∗∗∗
