High Value PF

Thaddeus Young-Indiana Pacers (5,800): Young comes into his first matchup against his former team from Brooklyn playing his best basketball of the season. He had a season-high 24 points against the Hawks on Wednesday and added seven rebounds to get to 36.25 fantasy points. He has over 35 fantasy points in two of his last three games, now, and has been over 24 fantasy points in seven of his last eight. The Nets are allowing the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing PF and Young should be motivated to take it to his former teammates as the Nets come to Indiana tonight.  ∗∗∗∗

Terrence Jones-New Orleans Pelicans (5,800): While his playing time situation still makes me nervous, Jones has been very productive for coach Alvin Gentry curing he Pelicans recent run of success. Jones has at least 30 fantasy points in five of his last six games including a 17-7-1 performance on Wednesday against the T-Wolves. He’s in a great matchup against the Blazers if he gets on the floor tonight, and I think he’s a high-risk, high-upside play at just under 6K.∗∗

Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (4,600): Kaminsky has been playing well lately despite an ankle issue and is getting extra chances with Cody Zeller out and Roy Hibbert on a minutes limit. Kaminsky played 30 minutes on Wednesday against the Spurs and finished with 29.5 fantasy points. He has at least 26 fantasy points in four of his last five and has scored 13 points or more in each of those contests. Tonight, he’ll take on Porzingis and the Knicks and is definitely worth a look as my favorite sub-5K PF play tonight.∗∗∗∗

Ersan Ilyasova-Philadelphia 76ers (4,200): Another member of the 76ers who makes sense as a cheap play tonight is Ersan Ilyasova who has been a solid addition since the Sixers acquired him from OKC earlier this season. Ilyasova has scored in double digits in six straight games and had a season-high 22 points in 40 minutes on Wednesday. The two extra periods definitely boosted him a bit as he finished with 22-12 for 39 fantasy points. Even though those numbers are likely out of reach tonight against the Bulls, he does have some nice upside at just over 4K. ∗∗
