High Value SF

Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,500): Fournier moved over to SF on FanDuel last night and had a good game against the Kings scoring 16 points to go with his seven rebounds and six assists for 34.4 fantasy points. Tonight, he gets another good matchup against the Blazers as he looks to post over 29 fantasy points for the fourth straight game. 

Kent Bazemore-Atlanta Hawks (4,900): Bazemore had 13 points, eight boards, and two blocks on his way to 30.1 fantasy points on Thursday against the Raptors giving him 27 or more fantasy points in four of his last seven. He is playing nice minutes with the Hawks starting unit and has emerged as a versatile option if you have to spend under 5K. 

Matt Barnes-Memphis Grizzlies (4,800): Barnes went off last night for the Grizzleis stepping into the void left by a host of injuries and trades.  He had 26 points, 11 rebounds, and ten assists in 44 minutes to total 58.2 fantasy points. Barnes has been a great pickup for the Grizz but his offensive game is still inconsistent. While he’ll have the opportunity again tonight in Atlanta, I don’t think he’s a lock to rise to the challenge again tonight like he did last night in a great matchup against the Pelicans.  I still think he’ll turn in a solid game, but I doubt he goes off again like he did last night. Plus, he’s also playing for the second night in a row after logging 44 minutes last night.

Hollis Thompson-Philadelphia 76ers (3,800): Thompson had already been in my FanDuel daily picks as one of the better cheap plays in the NBA at SF right now, but with a scary injury to Robert Covington he’s the last of the 76ers’ wing options that is healthy and ready to go tonight against the Pistons.  Thompson has played over 30 minutes in each of his last four games and has at least 21 fantasy points in three of his last four and five of his last seven full games.  He missed a coupe games with illness at the end of February, but he should be good to go tonight for all the minutes he can handle for a suddenly injury-depleted Philadelphia team. ∗∗∗
