High Value SF

Trevor Ariza-Houston Rockets (5,800): Ariza has been playing huge minutes for the Rockets and had been shooting incredibly well before going just 1-10 in Portland on Thursday. He has at least 33 fantasy points in four of his last five games including a 25-point game in Phoenix that resulted in 47.5 fantasy points. He still managed 34.5 fantasy points against the Blazers despite his poor shooting since he had eight rebounds, six assists and five steals to go with his six points.  Ariza has 14 steals in his last three games and has played over 40 minutes in four of his last five.  His matchup against the Spurs isn’t ideal, but if Leonard focuses on Harden, Ariza could get some solid looks tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Mirza Teletovic-Phoenix Suns (5,300): While Kris Humphries is still starting and Jon Leuer is still getting minutes as well, Teletovic has emerged as one of the few reliable sources of offense in Phoenix. He had 30 points against his former team, the Nets, on Thursday and added 11 boards to produce an impressive 47.25 fantasy points. His production didn’t come out of nowhere, though, since he has at least 13 points in nine of his last ten games and has been able to get to 23 fantasy points in each of his last five.  Since the Suns are searching for any success on offense, look for them to go to Teletovic early again tonight against Memphis. ∗∗∗∗

Harrison Barnes-Golden State Warriors (5,000): Barnes played 34 minutes against Orlando but only managed 17.25 fantasy points on ten points and five rebounds.  He has scored at least ten points in seven of his last nine games with a high mark of 19 when the Warriors hosted tonight’s opponent, the Thunder back on February 6. Barnes had 25.5 fantasy points in that contest and would be a great value if he is near that production again tonight.  He’s high risk since he isn’t involved in the team’s offense on a nightly basis and could lose time depending on how the Warriors deploy their rotation against the Thunder tonight, but he has a pretty high ceiling for a player at just 5K.∗∗

Mike Dunleavy-Chicago Bulls (3,900): Dunleavy is a great way to save money since he’s stepped into a Bulls team looking for offense and production from anywhere it can get it. He has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last three games and was able to pull in eight rebounds last night to go with six points against the Hawks. He has played 25+ minutes in each of those three games and should get that much time again tonight against the Blazers.∗∗∗
