High Value C

Ian Mahinmi-Indiana Pacers (5,000): Mahinmi must have seen the show rookie Myles Turner put on in his three game absence since he looked determined to secure his minutes with a 12-point, ten-rebounds double-double on Tuesday in his return.  He finished with 30 fantasy points giving him at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last five full-strength games.  He has been a sneaky-solid cheap play all season, and he is again tonight against Al Hofrord and the Hawks. 

Roy Hibbert-Los Angeles Lakers (4,000): I’d advise against going this cheap at center tonight, but if you do have to go cheap for some reason Hibbert is the best ultra-cheap play.  Hibbert has played at least 21 minutes in nine of his last ten contests and has at least 15 fantasy points in eight of those ten games including each of his last five.  He had 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two blocks for 22.1 fantasy points against Dallas on Tuesday, and he’ll have to help slow down Pau Gasol tonight, so he should be in the mid-to-high 20’s in minutes tonight.
