High Value C

Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,500): Jokic is in a tasty matchup against the Lakers tonight, but his reduced playing time as of late is a cause for concern.  He played just 19 minutes on Monday against Memphis as he again battled early foul trouble.  Jokic managed 22.7 fantasy points in his limited time, so he wasn’t a total bust, but he didn’t manage a monster double-double like he did against the Celtics and Kings in his two previous home games both of which resulted in over 39 fantasy points. Tonight, he has a world of upside against the weak interior defense of the Lakers, and he’ll produce if he gets the time. Coach Mike Malone will hopefully let him play 25 minutes in a matchup he could dominate tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Al Jefferson-Charlotte Hornets (5,300): If you don’t feel you can trust Jokic, Big Al is in a good matchup too as he takes on the 76ers tonight. He’s coming off his highest point total since returning from injury when he had 19 points and seven rebounds last night against Phoenix.  He finished that game with 29.4 fantasy points and looks to be rounding back into form.  His affordable price and reliable reputation make him worth a look tonight in a good matchup although coming off the bench and playing limited minutes does cap his ceiling. ∗∗∗

Miles Plumlee-Milwaukee Bucks (3,700): If you have to go cheap at center to afford your big spends at other spots, Miles Plumlee is worth a look as he continues to start in front of Greg Monroe for Milwaukee.  Plumlee has played over 21 minutes in four of his last five games and has over 21 fantasy points in four of his last six contests. He had nine points and eight rebounds against the Rockets on Monday for 22.6 fantasy points, and is a pretty reliable source of fantasy points even though his price is still so affordable.∗∗∗
