High Value C

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,300): Lopez had two monster games last week with 42.75 fantasy points on Tuesday against Boston and 51.5 fantasy points against the Pistons on Thursday. He slowed down a little with just 20 fantasy points on Friday against Memphis, but he still played 30 minutes and fell just one point shy of a double-double. Lopez should be able to find some success today against the Nuggets. ∗∗∗

Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (5,100): On the other end of the experience spectrum, you could go with Kings’ rookie Willie Cauley-Stein who has been playing effectively alongside DeMarcus Cousins. Cauley-Stein had 16 points and six rebounds on Friday in Brooklyn to produce over 25 fantasy points for the first time in his last five games.  His production comes which makes him a little over-priced at 5K+, but there is definite upside to his matchup today against the Celtics. ∗

Tyler Zeller-Boston Celtics (3,100): If you decide to venture into the Boston front court, you might as well do it on the cheap and go with Zeller whose time has been on the rise lately. Zeller has posted 31, 26.25, and 21 fantasy points in his last three games and played 20 minutes against the Cavs on Friday.  He scored 16 points to go with four boards in that contest and is definitely working his way back into coach Brad Stevens rotation.  Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk, and Amir Johnson are all still around so he doesn’t have a clear path to production, but his last three games show there is plenty of upside to like in Zeller’s game if he is able to carve out minutes in the rotation. ∗∗∗
