High Value PF

Jerami Grant-Philadelphia 76ers (5,200):  Grant returned from his concussion and immediately took all the fantasy value from Carl Landry.  Grant played 30 and 34 minutes in his two games back and had solid numbers with 24 fantasy points on 13 points against the Wizards on Thursday and an even better 30.4 fantasy points against the Thunder on 15 points, seven rebounds, three blocks, and two assists.  The Celtics have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing PF this season, so Grant should be able to put up good numbers again tonight since he’s averaging over 30 minutes a game now that Okafor is on the sidelines.∗∗∗∗

Amir Johnson-Boston Celtics (3,800): The Celtics big-man rotation is always in flux, but Johnson seems to be trending back toward fantasy usability as of late.  He has played over 20 minutes in three straight games with over 17 fantasy points in each of those contests including a big game against the Thunder when he totaled 33.9 fantasy points on 11 points and 12 rebounds as well as five assists and a block.  Johnson will take on the Sixers in a good matchup for him tonight if he again gets 20+ minutes on the floor. ∗∗

Kevin Seraphin-New York Knicks (3,600): Another cheap play to consider tonight is Kevin Seraphin of the Knicks. Seraphim has played good minutes the last two games and could have a bigger role tonight if Kristaps Porzingis is fatigued from his heavy workload last night.  Seraphim played 19 minutes against the Warriors and had 20.1 fantasy points on 12 points, three rebounds, and three assists. He followed that up with 19.3 fantasy points more against the Wizards on six points and nine rebounds even though he only played 14 minutes.  His minutes are the big risk with Seraphin, but he’s showing he can produce solid numbers when given a chance ∗
