High Value PF

Kenneth Faried-Denver Nuggets (5,900): If you’d rather go with a traditional double-double-type forward instead of a stretch-four shooter, Faried is a nice option at just just under 6K since he had been playing well lately for Denver.  He had his fourth double-double in his last six games on Saturday in Indiana finishing with 16 points and 12 rebounds. He finished that contest with 33 fantasy points and has at least 33 fantasy points in four of his last six. As long as he can stay healthy and get his usual minutes, Faried should be a nice bargain at this price tonight against the Raptors. ∗∗∗∗

Jordan Hill-Indiana Pacers (4,800): Hill had a monster game on Saturday finishing with 20 points, seven rebounds, six blocks, and three assists for a humungous 45.75 fantasy points. He got the start in place of Ian Mahinmi on Saturday, and he has excelled when given extra minutes.  If Mahinmi is out tonight, Hill will be a great value play. No Mahinmi-∗∗∗∗∗ With Mahinmi-∗∗

Nene Hilario-Washington Wizards (4,700): The Thunder have plenty of size up front, so I doubt the Wizards will be able to go too small against them tonight in OKC. That should result in plenty of time for Nene who has played at least 25 minutes in four straight games before Saturday’s game where he only played 19 minutes before being ejected along with Dwight Howard.  He has at least 15 fantasy points in each of his last ten games, so the risk of a total dud is minimal, but he has been able to produce at least 25 fantasy points in two of his last five games.  He may or may not start tonight, but my guess is he’ll get plenty of minutes since Jared Dudley will probably struggle to defend Serge Ibaka.  Nene doesn’t have the high upside of Jordan Hill or Kenneth Faried, but he’s in a good matchup tonight. ∗∗
