High Value SF

Wilson Chandler-Denver Nuggets (5,700): Chandler has been a meaningful contributor for the Nuggets this season and is serving as the team’s super-sub off the bench. He had a couple of down games against the strong defense of the Jazz (24.25 and 25 fantasy points) but he has over 35 in his last three games against teams-not-from-Utah. Chandler gets a nice matchup tonight against the Thunder in what should be a high-scoring game. He’ll be worth even more if Danilo Gallinari is out, but he’s worth considering either way. Gallo in-∗∗ Gallo out-∗∗∗∗

Maurice Harkless-Portland Trail Blazers (4,900): Harkless has found a nice niche with the Blazers even though there are a number of options for Portland to use at their two forward slots.He has scored in double digits in each of his last five contests and had 31.25 fantasy points in a solid 11-7-2 line against the Cavs on Wednesday. Harkless has at least 24 fantasy points in five of his last seven games and has the upside to get to 30 fantasy points in a good matchup against New Orleans tonight. He’s a little risky, but his strong run of recent play makes him an option to look at tonight. ∗∗∗

Robert Covington-Philadelphia 76ers (4,000): Covington was a standout for Wednesday’s DraftKings daily picks when I liked him as a flier against Memphis. I never thought he would log a crazy, double-OT-boosted 46 minutes and finish with 48 fantasy points on 19-10-2 along with three blocks and three assists. Even though his shot has been as streaky as always (and mostly cold), Covington has become an important piece of the Sixers’ defense and is on the floor for plenty of time to make him a flier pickup again tonight as he faces the Bulls.∗∗

DeMarre Carroll-Toronto Raptors (3,600): Carroll is still sitting out one half of back-to-backs, but when he has played he has looked healthy and starting to rediscover his form. he had 17 points and 27.5 fantasy points on Sunday against Sacramento and followed that with another season-high of 20 points on his way to a very impressive 40.75 fantasy points against the Rockets in Houston. If Carroll can continue to produce across the statsheet from his SF spot, look for his price to rise and the Raptors to continue to emerge as one of the challengers to Cleveland’s supremacy in the Eastern Conference. ∗∗∗
