High Value C

Jared Sullinger-Boston Celtics (5,200):. Sullinger is usually an option I avoid due to the uneven playing time he receives in the Boston rotation, but he is coming off a very nice game against the Kings when he had 21 points, six rebounds, and three steals in just 23 minutes.  He now has at least 25 fantasy points in five of his last seven games and has over 30 fantasy points in four of his last ten. He definitely has the potential to go off on any given night, but he shares time with the other Boston bigs and can sometimes take a back seat if one of them is having a great game.  Sullinger undeniably has the upside to be a good pick, but there is also some significant risk in throwing him out there against Greg Monroe and the Bucks tonight.∗∗

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,100): Lopez has been boom-or-bust lately with 20 or fewer fantasy points in three of his last five but 42.75 fantasy points and 51.5 fantasy points in his two good games.  He’s high-risk, but the potential is definitely there especially if new interim coach Kurt Rambis decides to try and get him the ball more on the block.∗

Tyler Zeller-Boston Celtics (3,800): After being a total non-factor for the first few months of the season, Zeller has been really good since the calendar turned to February. He has at least 26 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is coming off a season-high 17 points which he had against the Kings on Sunday. He has at least 16 points in three of his last four and adds solid rebounding and assists most of the time as well. Taking anyone in the Boston frontcourt is risky, but Zeller is definitely the hot hand and a very cheap investment to consider if you decide to go cheap. ∗∗∗
