High Value SF

Matt Barnes-Memphis Grizzlies (5,800): Barnes is getting tons of time in Memphis’s newly-formatted rotation, but his production still varies on a nightly basis.  Barnes has scored at least 16 points in three of his last four games but also has been held to just one point or even zero points in three of his last seven.  He had a good game in Denver on Monday with 16 points, five assists, five rebounds, and two steals finishing with 33.25 fantasy points, and I think those kinds of numbers are realistic to expect from him tonight as he faces Sacramento who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing SF this season and the fifth-most over their last five games. ∗∗∗

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (5,500): Another roller-coaster ride of production the season has been Robert Covington of the Sixers.  He has at least 21 fantasy points in five of his last eight games, and has been playing more minutes lately due to injuries and the departure of Jakarr Sampson. He’s high-risk, but if his shot starts dropping and the game stays close he has a ton of upside for a player under 5K. ∗

Lance Stephenson-Memphis Grizzlies (4,300): Stephenson looks determined to make good on his chance in Memphis and has produced at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last five games.  He has scored at least 12 points in each of those four contests and is adding solid rebounds and assists as well.  Stephenson’s volatile in more ways than one, but his fantasy producing from just over 4K is pretty solid making him worth a look against the Kings who allow the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG which is where Lance is currently playing despite his SF designation on DraftKings. ∗∗∗
