High Value SF

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (5,100): The opposite side of the Suns-Sixers matchup is also a good one for P.J. Tucker who is one of the few healthy bodies available and has been playing big minutes as a result.  Tucker played 39 minutes against the Hawks scoring 16 points to go with six rebounds on his way to 31 fantasy points. He has at least 25 fantasy points in five of his last eight games and his only real stinker during that time was due to injury.  His minutes continue to climb as injuries mount, and he’ll be a good play against Phily tonight if he is again one of the few active forwards for the Suns-∗∗∗

Aaron Gordon-Orlando Magic (4,800): Gordon is starting for the Magic, but he only played 24 minutes for the second straight game last night since the Magic matched the Grizzlies small-ball lineup with Gordon on the bench.  He did still manage ten points and nine rebounds to get to 22.25 fantasy points, but he needs to get closer to 30 minutes a game before he’s  must-own option.  He has been able to get at least 20 fantasy points in five of his last seven games which is pretty decent value here in the under-5K range. ∗∗∗

Justise Winslow-Miami Heat (4,400): Winslow has at least 23 fantasy points in each of his last three games as a result of playing a ton of fill-in minutes.  Winslow played 35 minutes last night against Chicago and finished with eight points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals for a solid 28.75 fantasy points. He’s the best sub-4.5K option in the SF pool for sure, and he’s one of the better cheap plays available tonight at any position. He’s worth a look even with Luol Deng back since there are so many other empty slots to fill for Miami right now. ∗∗
