High Value SF

Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,900): Morris has played well against Cleveland all season and continued his good performance with a solid Game One. He had 20 points and five assists in his whopping 40 minutes of playing time and totaled 30.9 fantasy points. He almost always plays big minutes for Detroit and will get plenty of time on the floor tonight which should result in another 25+ fantasy points with the upside to get to 30 or 40 if his shot is falling again. ∗∗∗∗

Al-Farouq Aminu-Portland Trail Blazers (5,500): Aminu was the better of the two Blazers SF options since Maurice Harmless struggled in a tough matchup against Blake and DeAndre in Game One. Aminu ended up with 28.9 fantasy points on ten points, 12 boards, and three assists in his 26 minutes which is a solid return at his 5.5K price. He will need to step up again tonight if the Blazers are going to get a road win, and Aminu should have a little extra motivation since he is still taking on his former team, the Clippers. Look for him to be a safe and solid investment even though he doesn’t have the upside of Morris. ∗∗∗

Stanley Johnson-Detroit Pistons (3,500): Johnson had a strong Game One for Detroit even though his minutes were a big limited since he was coming off the bench behind Morris, Tobias Harris, and KCP who logged heavy workloads. Johnson was successful in his 16 minutes on the floor grabbing eight rebounds and adding nine points for 18.6 fantasy points. He’ll try to give the Pistons a similar spark tonight when given the chance, and I like him since he chips in solid non-scoring stats when he’s given the chance making him the best option under 4K tonight. ∗∗
