High Value C

Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (4,400): Len should get more work in the coming games as the Suns try to develop their younger players with this season already well in the tank.  Len had 13 points, eight rebounds, and four assists for 34 fantasy points in his last game against the Spurs on Thursday, and he’ll be a good cheap option again tonight.  In both of his two games back from a hand injury, Len has over 20 fantasy points and will keep getting playing time while Phoenix has so few healthy bodies. ∗∗∗∗

Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (4,300): Cauley-Stein has been excellent in his last two games posting a pair of double-doubles against the Lakers and Hawks.  He has at least 22 fantasy points in three of his last four games and appears to be back to 100% after missing time with a finger injury. ∗∗∗

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (4,200): Turner has exploded for the Pacers on their road trip, and I expect them to keep getting the rookie plenty of touches tonight against the Kings.  Turner had a career-high 31 points last night against the Warriors in 28 minutes adding eight rebounds and a pair of blocks for a total of 46.5 fantasy points. He had 42.25 fantasy points earlier on the Pacers’ trip with 25 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes against the Nuggets.  He’s a good play tonight even if Ian Mahinmi returns since he’s giving the Pacers offensive firepower from their center spot which they haven’t had a lot of this season. Turner will be widely owned, but he’s such an inexpensive play that you have to give him a look against the Kings tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
