High Value SF

Trevor Ariza-Houston Rockets (5,500): The Rockets new-look rotation has given Ariza more playing time as Houston goes more to small ball lineups.  Ariza has at least 37 minutes in six of his last seven games, and he has been producing nice numbers with at least 32 fantasy points in four of his last five games including two games with at least 44 fantasy points. He will be excited to see his former team come to Houston tonight since the Wizards have allowed more fantasy points to opposing SF than any other team in the NBA. Ariza was forced to miss the Rockets first game against Washington this season, but he will be a key player tonight and should find success against the Wizards struggling defense. ∗∗∗∗

Joe Johnson-Brooklyn Nets (4,900): Johnson has been playing tons of minutes for the Nets and is a key part of their offense now that they’ve had to reorganize following the loss of Jarrett Jack.  Johnson has played at least 30 minutes in seven of his last nine games and has at least 13 points in each of his last three contests.  He adds solid non-scoring stats as well and has been able to produce at least 20 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games including three games over 30 fantasy points. He’s in a good matchup against the Pelicans (with a limited Tyreke Evans at best).∗∗

Alonzo Gee-New Orleans Pelicans (4,400):  Gee has been a solid contributor for the Pelicans and has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last four games.  He had ten points, two rebounds, and five steals on Thursday against the Kings after five points, ten boards, and two steals the night before.  He can produce in a variety of categories, but he has been consistent enough to earn good playing time lately and should continue to put together solid lines as he takes on the Nets tonight. ∗∗∗

Corey Brewer-Houston Rockets (3,800): For now it looks like the Rockets will stick with Brewer in their starting lineup and go small-ball.  However, his production is still a little inconsistent since Houston can go so many directions once they go to the bench.  Last night, Brewer had 17 points and 22.5 fantasy points against the Thunder, and his potential makes him the best cheap play even though he is no guarantee tonight against the Wizards. ∗∗
