High Value PF

Willie Cauley-Stein-Sacramento Kings (5,600): Cauley-Stein wil legt a chance to own the middle for the Kings’ last two games of the season with DeMarcus Cousins taking the last two games off.  Cauley-Stein has been effective when Boogie has been out with at least 23 fantasy points in three straight games with over 30 minutes per contest before taking a bit of a backseat to Cousins on Saturday in the Kings’ home finale. Cauley-Stein has the potential to go off agains the Suns like he did when the two teams met three weeks ago and he has 40.2 fantasy points on 26 points, six barons, three steals, and two blocks. ∗∗∗∗

Mirza Teletovic-Phoenis Suns (5,600): As the Suns continue their injury-riddled decline, Teletovic has been a solid source of offense and will continue to be a safe play tonight against the Kings.  Teletovic has scored at least 22 points in four of his last five games with 27.9 fantasy points or more in each of those five contests.  He isn’t getting much attention since he’s producing on such a bad team, but he’s a nice solid mid-range play tonight in the late game. ∗∗∗∗

Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves (5,600): The Rockets have struggled defending opposing PF all season which sets up well for Dieng tonight who has been productive when he has gotten playing time lately.  His minutes have been inconsistent, but he did have 18 points an 13 rebounds for 37.6 fantasy points against the Kings two games ago before playing just 24 minutes against the Blazers.  Since its such a beatable matchup, I expect the Wolves to go to Dieng a lot in this game especially since he has had success against Houston this season.  His uneven playing time makes him risky, but his matchup give him lots of upside. ∗∗

Chris McCullough-Brooklyn Nets (4,100): McCullough  could end up playing huge minutes tonight depending on the status of Thomas Robinson.  McCullough would be the next man up for Brooklyn after they’ve already chosen to shut down Thomas Young and Brook Lopez.  McCullough had played over 20 minutes in five straight before last night’s game and has at least 20 fantasy points in three of those five contests.  The Nets will get to give the rookie out of Syracuse a good long look in the next few games if Robinson is unable to go starting tonight against the Wizards. If starting-∗∗ Not starting-∗

Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (3,800): Boston has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF, so Kaminsky could be set up to continue his strong finish to his rookie campaign if he gets good playing time again tonight against the C’s.  Kaminsky played 30 minutes against the Wizards yesterday and notched his first career double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. He has at least 19 fantasy points in each of his last four games and had 31.2 fantasy points yesterday. If he keeps playing over 20 minutes, he’s a nice cheap option to take a look at tonight. ∗∗∗
