High Value SF

Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,200): Morris had a horrible game in New Orleans on the team’s current road trip, but he has been great lately except for that game.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in four of his last five games with just the 14.2-fantasy-point disappointment as the outlier.  He has been scoring plenty of points averaging 16 per game over his last five while adding 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.8 blocks.  The Jazz defend opposing SF pretty well, but Morris plays so many minutes that I think he’s a solid option to roll with tonight even in that less-than-ideal matchup. ∗∗∗

Matt Barnes-Memphis Grizzlies (5,200): While he doesn’t have quite the ceiling that Morris does especially on the offensive end, Barnes is extremely reliable to give you something as long as he continues to play such a big role in the Grizzlies rotation.  Barnes has at least 20 fantasy points in seven straight games and has returned to the starting lineup for his last two games posting 29.9 fantasy points and 24.1 fantasy points in those two contests.  He makes a better play if he gets starters minutes, but he’s usable either way since he’s so involved in the Memphis small-ball attack which should fare pretty well at home against Orlando tonight. ∗∗

Andre Iguodala-Golden State Warriors (4,400): Although he’s still not starting for the World Champions, he is definitely a key part of the rotation and an important part of any close game that the Warriors play.  He has scored in double digits in three straight games and has at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last eight.  He isn’t a for-sure statistical producer since his role changes from game to game, but he will be involved and valuable to Golden State tonight, and I think he’ll ultimately be a good play at the price. ∗∗∗

Shabazz Muhammad-Minnesota Timberwolves (4,200): Muhammad has this spot reserved in my FanDuel daily picks and continues to produce as his role in the Wolves’ rotation grows.  He has played at least 26 minutes in each of his last five games and is averaging 15.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in those contests.  He has at least 20 fantasy points in three straight games and also had 26.5 fantasy points when he last faced the Cavs scoring 22 points in 26 minutes. ∗∗∗∗
