High Value C

Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (5,800): Jokic has been playing extremely effectively lately and has at least 33 fantasy points in five straight games. He’s still a little under-priced since a wrist injury cost him some time in the middle of those games and he’s still coming off the bench for Denver. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against a banged-up front court of the Mavericks, so he should be able to contribute another good number after posting 14-6-6 against the Magic for 36 fantasy points on Saturday.∗∗∗∗

Clint Capela-Houston Rockets (5,300): If you are looking to spend under 6K, another option to take a look at is Clint Capela who has at least 27 fantasy points in four of his last five games including 13-10-3 against the Mavs on Saturday when he had 31 fantasy points. He usually is around a low-level double-double and gets good defensive numbers as well. He hasn’t had a block in two straight games, but he should be able to turn that around as he takes on Brook Lopez and the Nets tonight.∗∗∗

John Henson-Milwaukee Bucks (4,400): Henson has continued to get about 25 minutes a night for the Bucks and has settled in nicely to his role for Milwaukee. He has at least 22 fantasy points in seven of his last eight with three games over 31 fantasy points during that span as well. Tonight, he’ll tangle with the Raptors who he played zero minutes against in their last meeting. He’s risky since Jason Kidd is unpredictable with his rotation, but Henson has been steady enough that I think he’ll play good minutes again tonight.∗∗
