High Value PF

Ersan Ilyasova-Detroit Pistons (5,800): Ilyasova was another one of the Pistons who delivered last night in their big win in Houston.  He finished with 18 points, six boards, and two assists for a total of 32.3 fantasy points. He has at least 32 fantasy points in three of his last four games and has scored at least 17 points in four of his last six.  The Pelicans interior defense isn’t great, so Ilyasova should post another solid number tonight. ∗∗∗

Markieff Morris-Phoenix Suns (4,600): The mess that is the Phoenix Suns is party their own fault to be sure, but they have also been ravaged by injuries, and tonight its very unclear who will be available for them against the Spurs.  Morris had been getting some solid run and posted 27.3, 26.8, and 31.5 fantasy points in three straight games coming into Tuesday’s game when he only played 12 minutes due to  a shoulder injury that forced him to miss the second half.  He missed practice yesterday along with fellow-forwards Mirza Teletovic, Jon Leuer, and T.J.Warren. Depending on who is active, Morris’s value could fluctuate quite a bit, but as long as he plays he’ll be at least a two-star play with potential for more depending on teammates availability. I’ll update on Twitter if I upgrade him later in the day. ∗∗

Darrell Arthur-Denver Nuggets (4,300): Arthur is coming off the bench again for the Nuggets, but he has still been able o get playing time to stay fantasy relevant.  He has at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last seven games, and he is enough of a favorite of coach Mike Malone to expect him to et enough court time against Memphis to produce solid numbers again tonight. ∗∗∗
