High Value C

Tyson Chandler-Phoenix Suns (5,300): Chandler has posted three straight double-doubles with at least 33 fantasy points after returning from a back injury that cost him three games.  As he and the Suns take on the Hawks tonight, he’s the best option at below 6K tonight especially given his 21-point, 18-rebound game against the Jazz on Sunday which resulted in an impressive 43.6 fantasy points. ∗∗∗∗

Jusuf Nurkic-Denver Nuggets (4,500): Nurkic missed three games due to illness last week and has battled injuries and minutes-limits much of the season. That being said, when he has been able to get on the floor he has produced nice numbers with at least 21 fantasy points in each of his last five contests.  He did return to the rotation on Saturday against Sacramento and had nine points and nine boards in just 16 minutes for 23.8 fantasy points. If his minutes against OKC tonight are closer to 25, he should be a very nice cheap option with a high ceiling. ∗∗

Alexis Ajinca-New Orleans Pelicans (4,300): Ajinca has been in and out of the Pelicans staring lineup, but he has been productive in his time on the floor and has a great matchup tonight against the 76ers who are very thin down low.  Ajinca has scored at least eight points in each of his last six outings and has added good rebounding and blocks numbers to get to at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last four games.  He’s going off one of his best games of the season when he had 16 points, six boards, and four blocks against the Nets for a total of 32.7 fantasy points, and he’s in a great matchup to turn in a similar line tonight against the 76ers. ∗∗∗∗
