High Value PF

Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (5,900): Even with FanDuel no longer operating in New York, expect Porzingis to have a high ownership after last night’s career-high 29 points against the Bulls.  He added ten rebounds and an assist for a solid 39.5 fantasy points in that game, and he’ll look to keep his momentum rolling against Chicago tonight as the venue shifts to Madison Square Garden.  Porzingis has at least 27 fantasy points in three straight which is enough to make him the best value play under 6K, but there is a definitely “bust” potential as well since he has been up and down dealing with fatigue at times as he brings his first NBA season to a close.

Taj Gibson-Chicago Bulls (5,500): Pau Gasol has played the last two games for the Bulls, but he’s playing very limited minutes which has allowed Gibson to stay involved.  He has at least ten points in four straight contests and six of his last seven and has been able to produce over 25 fantasy points in four of his last six.  Gibson was limited to just two rebounds and 20 minutes as the teams went small last night, so in the rematch tonight, he’ll hopefully be able to play more and do more work on the glass.

Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (5,000): Turner has sen his minutes tick back up lately, and he’s in a great matchup to attack tonight as he faces the interior defense of the injury-ravaged Pelicans.  Turner has played 25 minutes or more in five of his last eight games and has been able to reach 26 fantasy points in three of his last five including each of his last two.  He should get good minutes tonight in a beatable matchup, so the 19-year-old could be lined up for a double-double with solid defensive numbers. He’s a bit under the radar right now, but I think he’s a very good value play tonight. 

Ed Davis-Portland Trail Blazers (4,000): Davis came through for my FanDuel daily picks last night with 16 points, nine boards, and three steals to post 32.8 fantasy points in his 21 minutes against the Mavs.  He has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last four games despite playing under 22 minutes in each contest.  His playing time still makes him a risky option, but if he gets time on the floor agains the Clippers, he’ll be a good cheap PF option.
