High Value PF

Marvin Williams-Charlotte Hornets (5,600): Williams had 22 points against the Cavs on Sunday and finished with 34.7 fantasy points while continuing his very efficient production this season.  He has at least 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is a boom-or-bust play tonight against the Raptors.  Williams can give you huge numbers with 20+ points in three of his last ten, but he also has quiet games where he isn’t as involved in the Hornets scoring.  He is more likely to produce if he has to help cover for Nicolas Batum who is questionable for tonight. No Batum-∗∗∗ With Batum-∗

Jerami Grant-Philadelphia 76ers (5,100): Grant is one of the few healthy big men in Philadelphia which has earned him big minutes when he is available after battling a knee injury and quad bruise of his own.  Grant played 37 minutes on Saturday against the Pacers in Phily’s most recent game totaling 32.3 fantasy points on 20 points, nine boards, three assists, and a block.  The Pelicans interior defense is a mess, so Grant should excel again tonight as long as he’s physically able to handle the workload. ∗∗∗∗

Mirza Teletovic-Phoenix suns (5,000): Another PF flying under the radar a bit since he’s playing in Phoenix, Teletovic has at least 17 points in five of his last six games with at least 24 fantasy points in each of those five contests.  He has 24 points in each of his last two games totaling 38.9 fantasy points and 28.2 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll be looked to again as a key piece in the Suns attack as they face the Hawks in Atlanta. ∗∗∗

Ed Davis-Portland Trail Blazers (4,600): In a top-heavy PF pool today, Davis is about as cheap an option as I would consider until we hear if any stars are sitting.  Davis has at least 20 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games and is getting great numbers when he receives 20+ minutes of playing time.  Tonight against the Kings bigs, the Blazers may need him to play more minutes since going small against Boogie and Cauley-Stein would be tricky.  Davis is a good play tonight, but his inconsistent minutes are always a concern. ∗∗
