High Value C

Alex Len-Phoenix Suns (5,700): While his durability is always a concern, it finally looks like the Suns are going to give Len a long look the rest of this season.  The big man has played at least 34 minutes in each of his last three games including logging 40 minutes last night against Miami.  In each of those three games, he has a double-double and at least 31 fantasy points. His size alongside Tyson Chandler will present a big problem for the Magic who like to go small, so I’m all in on the former-Terp again tonight. 

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,600): Lopez had a bad game against his former team on Wednesday finishing with just 11.5 fantasy points against Portland. However, he had posted over 29 fantasy points in four of his previous five games and is in a good matchup tonight against the Celtics who he has averaged 13.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks against in three games this season. When the two teams last played in early February, Lopez had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and I think he’s a good candidate for a bounce-back double-double tonight in Boston. 

Amar’e Stoudemire-Miami Heat (3,700): With Chris Bosh sidelined and Hassan Whiteside still coming off the bench, Stoudemire has continued to see plenty of time on the floor for Miami and is in a good matchup tonight against the woeful 76ers.  Stoudemire comes in with at least 21 fantasy points in three games in a row.  He hasn’t been limited very much in back-to-back’s and is coming off a strong eight points, nine rebounds, and three blocks last night against the Suns. He’s not a lock, but I see him as the option under 4K with the most upside given his current role and his matchup tonight.
