High Value PF

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (5,700): Parker has been rolling with at least 31 fantasy points in five straight games after scoring 22 points to go with six rebounds against the Celtics on Thursday despite a slow start.  He has been playing huge minutes while John Henson is out as well with at least 36 in each of those five contests.  Parker is still a little under-priced as the Bucks take on the Pistons tonight who don’t have a traditional PF option and are going with Marcus Morris and Tobias Harris at the three and four spot these days.  Parker should match up well against them and makes a nice play again tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Ryan Anderson-New Orleans Pelicans (5,300): Anderson is always a roll of the dice since he sometimes goes off and sometimes disappears. He has at least 25 fantasy points in three of his last four games, though, and dropped 26 points and 32.6 fantasy points  against the Wolves when the two teams met before the break. While his presence on the floor creates a mismatch against Dieng on when Minnesota has the ball, Anderson should be able to get his shot off against the T-Wolves tonight and I think he’ll be solid. ∗∗∗

Mirza Teletovic-Phoenix Suns (4,600): 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 40.7 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 20 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. ∗∗∗∗∗

Ed Davis-Portland Trail Blazers (4,100): Davis is in a good matchup against the banged-up Bulls, but his playing time continues to be limited coming off the bench for the Blazers.  He hauled in 12 rebounds in his 19 minutes against Houston on Thursday for 23.9 fantasy points. He has at least 18 fantasy points in four of his last six games even though he has only played more than 21 minutes in one of those games.  He’s high-risk since he doesn’t get extended run very often, but he has been playing well enough in his limited time to be worth considering as a cheap option tonight. ∗
