High Value SF

Jeff Green-Memphis Grizzlies (5,700): Green continues his recent run of production with 16 points, five rebounds, and two assists for a total of 27.25 fantasy points last night against the Knicks. He had 16 points and five rebounds in that contest and has posted at least 26 fantasy points in five straight games.  He should be in a place to keep rolling tonight against the Mavericks who looked horrible last night. ∗∗∗∗

Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,400): Morris has at least 20 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games including each of his last six.  He had 13 points, four boards, and four assists on Thursday against the Knicks for a solid 26.5 fantasy points, and he’ll look to produce a similar line tonight against the Pacers.  Morris averages over 36 minutes per gammon Detroit, so look for him to continue to be a safe pick with reliable production. ∗∗∗

Stanley Johnson-Detroit Pistons (5,200): Stan the man had 46.25 fantasy points in 44 minutes on Thursday while getting the start for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Since KCP is expected to be out until after the All Star game, Johnson should continue to get plenty of run in the coming games and be able to show some of his huge upside.  Remember that Johnson is a rookie, though, so there could be some bumps along the way. However, at this price and getting his huge minutes, he’s a great play tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Joe Johnson-Brooklyn Nets (5,100): If you don’t trust Stanley Johnson’s inexperience, check out another Johnson who is at the other end of the experience spectrum. Joe Johnson had a monster game last night against the Kings scoring 27 points to go with 11 assists, six boards, two steals, and a block on his way to a massive 58 fantasy points. He had 43 fantasy points on Wednesday against Indiana, and he will look to keep his momentum going in a good matchup against the 76ers tonight who allow the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF which is where Johnson is typically playing alongside Wayne Ellington and Donald Sloan in the backcourt. ∗∗∗

C.J. Miles-Indiana Pacers (4,100): Miles has rediscovered his shot recently and scored 27 and 13 points in the Pacers last two games.  He is a boom-or-bust, high-risk play since when he is shot is dropping he’s great, but when its not he doesn’t play as much. He had scored in single-digits for seven straight games before his 27-point outburst Wednesday, but give him a look if you have to go ultra-cheap at the position tonight.∗
