High Value C

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,600): Lopez had 26.4 fantasy points last night in DC on nine points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.  He has been inconsistent over the last month, but has shown some huge upside.  He had a monster game against the Clippers just over a week ago when he posted 44.8 fantasy points and he has been able to get at least 26 fantasy points in six of his last eight making him a decent value with some good upside against Cousins and the Kings tonight who aren’t known for their interior defense.∗∗∗

Kelly Olynyk-Boston Celtics (4,200): Olynyk is a risky play since he’s just working his way back from his shoulder injury and has only played two games since his return.  In those two contests, he has posted uninspiring fantasy numbers with just 12.3 fantasy points and 13.3 fantasy points, but the good news is that he played 30 minutes against Toronto which was most of any Boston big-man. Tonight, the Celtics face the Sixers who have allowed the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing centers, so Olynyk should be in a place to produce if he again gets such an extended run. He’s high-risk tonight but he has enormous upside as well. ∗∗

Miles Plumlee-Milwaukee Bucks (3,800): Plumlee has at least 18 fantasy points in four of his last five games coming off the bench for Milwaukee. With John Henson now back in the mix for minutes, Plumlee’s value may be short-lived, but he is the best sub-4K play tonight as the Bucks take on the Jazz who will force them to go big up front. ∗
