High Value C

Jared Sullinger-Boston Celtics (6,000): Sullinger has had or been near a double-double in almost every game lately and has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last nine games.  His minutes fluctuate from game to game based on matchup and who has the hot hand, but he has been playing very well lately and will be asked to tangle with Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson down low tonight as he returns to Ohio where he played his college basketball as the Celtics take on the Cavs. Last time these teams met Sullinger had 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and a steal in just 24 minutes.  I think he’ll play more minutes tonight and be a solid option from his price of 6K. ∗∗∗∗

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,600): Lopez bounced back from a bad game with a double-double last night against the Celtics finishing with 12 points and 12 rebounds for 32 fantasy points. He will have the tall task of dealing with Andre Drummond tonight at Madison Square Garden, but remember in their last meeting it was Lopez that posted a Drummond-like 26 points and 16 rebounds. Lopez has burned his owners a few times with bad down games, but he has been relatively solid with at least 29 fantasy points in five of his last seven games. He seems to be fitting well into interim coach Kurt Rambis’s rotation. ∗∗∗

Tyler Zeller-Boston Celtics (3,200): If you spend your money in other spots and have to go cheap at center, Tyler Zeller is an option to consider since he has found a solid role coming off the bench for Boston.  He hast at least 17 fantasy points in four straight games and is playing around 20 minutes per night.  He probably won’t go off against the Cavs tonight, but he has been consistent enough from such a cheap price point to consider him as he faces his former team in “The ‘Land” tonight.∗∗
