High Value PF

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (5,200): Thompson continues to start at center for the Cavaliers which should put him in a good matchup against the Bulls who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing centers so far this season.  Thompson finished the first half with a 15-point, 13-rebound double-double against the Lakers and had double-digit boards in each of his last four games. ∗∗∗

Bobby Portis-Chicago Bulls (4,400): What the Bulls do before the deadline (if anything) could definitely affect just how “free” Bobby Portis is tonight, but he has been getting pretty good minutes lately and doing well for a player at under 4.5K.  Portis played at least 20 minutes in each of the last six games for the Bulls with over 22 fantasy points in three of his last four.  He had a double-double last Wednesday in his most recent game, and he has a ton of upside to like at his price tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Nene Hilario-Washington Wizards (4,100): The Wizards may have to go with Nene more than Jared Dudley at PF tonight since Utah rolls out Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors up front.  Nene can’t take a full load anymore but he has been pretty productive lately including a 23-minute 24.5-fantasy-point performance to end the first half against the Bucks last week. He is risky since he puts up some pretty ugly duds from time to time, but he is a cheap play with upside tonight.∗∗
