High Value SF

Tobias Harris-Detroit Pistons (5,900): Harris has played five games with the Pistons since being traded to Detroit from Orlando.  He has played over 30 minutes in each of those contests and is averaging 17.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.0 steal over that timeframe. He is getting a ton of run due to injuries to Stanly Johnson and Anthony Tolliver and look for him to keep producing tonight in Toronto. Harris needs to pick up his rebounding to be a next-level fantasy producer, but he is a very safe play at under 6K tonight. 

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (5,000): Covington is the ultimate roll of the dice tonight like on most nights that he plays.  He had 41.5 fantasy points against the Kings just before the break and 36.4 fantasy points against the Wizards in his last game, so the upside is definitely there.  However, Covington can also totally disappear like he did against Detroit on Wednesday when he had just 8.6 fantasy points. He’s high-risk, high-reward tonight against the Magic, but its rare to get the upside of 35+ at just 5K. 

Shabazz Muhammad-Minnesota Timberwolves (3,900): If you have to go cheap at SF, the best option is standby Shabazz Muhammad who has been a cheap flier for most of the season who has hit-or-miss production. Muhammad has managed at least 17 fantasy points in each of his last five games and in eight of his last ten.  His time in the Minnesota rotation looks to have settled around 20-25 minutes, but it fluctuates from night-to-night based on game flow making him a high-risk play, but one that could work out from under 4K if you have to go cheap at SF.
