High Value PF

Aaron Gordon-Orlando Magic (5,700): Gordon didn’t come through last night finishing with just 14.3 fantasy points on six points, four rebounds, and just 20 minutes against the Pacers. He’ll be in a better matchup tonight against the Bucks who like to go small at PF which is when Gordon can produce his best lines. Milwaukee has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points in the NBA to PF this season, so hopefully everyone gets spooked off Gordon after last night leaving him for us to grab in this good matchup. Gordon had nine points and nine boards in his last matchup against Milwaukee, but he played 37 minutes showing he can get extended play tonight based on the matchup.∗∗∗∗

Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (4,900): With Boogie out, Cauley-Stein will get plenty of work down low tonight against the Heat. Like Gordon he’s coming off a bad game after managdin just 16 fantasy points on Wednesday, but he did have 30+ fantasy points in his three previous games and will get all the playing time he can handle tonight against Hassan Whiteside and the Heat. ∗∗∗∗∗

Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards (4,900): Morris is a huge wild card for tonight’s DFS schedule. He hasn’t down all that much lately even though he has been starting every game fro Washington. He has scored in double-digits in his last eight full games, but has only reached 25 fantasy points four times during that span. The factor that makes him intriguing tonight is that he’ll be playing against his former team, the Suns, who he definitely had his issues with. He could be extra motivated and go off for a huge night, or he could continue his struggles. It’s hard to say for sure either way, but he does have plenty of upside. ∗∗

Carl Landry-Philadelphia 76ers (4,800): Landry had a disappointing game against Charlotte on Tuesday finishing with just 15.1 fantasy points on eight points, three boards, and three assists. Hopefully, he can do better tonight since the Sixers are pretty much out of big-man options with Jerami Grant and Nerlens Noel still out for tonight’s contest. Landry had over 25 fantasy points in three of his previous five before Tuesday’s letdown and should get all the minutes he can handle again tonight. ∗∗∗

John Henson-Milwaukee Bucks (4,400): Henson is finally healthy and getting enough time to produce for the Bucks as they come wrap up their season. He has played at least 20 minutes in four straight games and has at least 28 fantasy points in each of his last three. He had 3+ blocks in each of those contests while playing strong on the glass and scoring in double digits. As long as he stays in this spot in the rotation, Henson should definitely return on his value tonight against the Magic who have struggled defend opposing bigs throughout the season. ∗∗∗∗∗

Trey Lyles-Utah Jazz (3,800): With Derrick Favors questionable for tonight, there is a chance that Lyles will get enough minutes to be the steal of the night in a sea of cheap PF options. Lyles has at least 21 fantasy points in four of his last six games anyway, but he could get a much heavier workload in a good matchup against the Timberwolves if Favors is out tonight. Lyles has been impressive when give chances in his first year in the NBA, but his minutes can be limited since he’s playing behind Favors and Rudy Gobert. No Favors-∗∗∗∗∗ With Favors-∗∗
