High Value C

Jared Sullinger-Boston Celtics (5,500): While Amir Johnson was away from the team on Friday, Sullinger seized the opportunity for expanded playing time and produced 49.5 fantasy points on 18 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and three steals.  Johnson is expected to be back for tonight’s game against the 76ers, so there won’t be quite as much playing time for Sullinger making him higher risk even though he has at least 26 fantasy points in three of his last four games. 

Kelly Olynyk-Boston Celtics (5,200): Olynyk has been good lately but Amir Johnson’s return and Jared Sullinger’s recent play could crowd his playing time.  He has at least 28 fantasy points in four of his last five games and has scored in double-digits in six straight and eight of his last ten.  Tonight, he’ll look to keep things going against the 76ers, and my only concern is playing time. ∗∗∗

Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder (4,500): Kanter has plenty of offensive game but struggles on the defensive end.  He has been playing well lately with at least 20 fantasy points in three straight games.  If he plays over 20 minutes tonight due to a blowout or because coach Billy Donovan decides he has earned more time, he’ll be a great bargain play even though he comes off the bench.
