High Value C

Jared Sullinger-Boston Celtics (5,400): Sullinger came back to earth playing just 16 minutes against the small-balling Wizards on Monday and finishing with just 17 fantasy points after posting 49.5 fantasy points against Chicago on Friday and 34.25 fantasy points against the Sixers on Sunday.  His minutes fluctuate in coach Brad Stevens mix-and-match front court, but he definitely has the potential to go off against the Nuggets front line which has been a good matchup to target for most of the season. ∗

Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,000): Jokic is coming off of two great games with 38.25 on Saturday against Detroit followed by 39.5 fantasy points against the Hawks.  He played 32 minutes against the Pistons and only 18 minutes against Atlanta, but put up similar numbers in each game.  Jokic has shown he can produce fantasy numbers in a hurry and is in a good matchup against the Celtics tonight although his unstable playing time is cause for concern. ∗∗

Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (4,800): Len continued to be one of the few bright spots for the Suns as he started again last night alongside Tyson Chandler.  He finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds for the second game in a row and now has at least 34 fantasy points in each of his last three games.  Since Len is a big part of the Phoenix future (such as it is), he should keep getting plenty of playing time and be a good option tonight against the Cavaliers. ∗∗∗∗∗

Spencer Hawes-Charlotte Hornets (4,600): Hawes is in a bad, bad matchup against Rudy Gobert, but he is getting so much playing time for Charlotte right now due to injury that he probably will end up with a solid value line at only 4K.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in each of the three games he has started in place of Cody Zeller, and he’ll tangle with Gobert, Favors, and the Jazz tonight in Salt Lake City.  He’s the best cheap option, but it’s definitely not a matchup to love. ∗∗
