High Value PF

Ryan Anderson-Houston Rockets (4,900): Eric Gordon isn’t the only Rockets player facing his former team tonight as Ryan Anderson will be in a possible “revenge game” situation as well. Anderson had a big night on Wednesday with 22 points against the Kings while adding six rebounds for 33 fantasy points. He has at least 29 fantasy points in three of his last four games and in six of his last ten. With the extra motivation of facing his former team, I think he’s a solid play at just under 5K tonight. ∗∗

Omri Casspi-Sacramento Kings (4,500): Casspi has been getting god run with the Kings lately with Rudy Gay ailing and Matt Barnes dealing with his serious off-court issues. Casspi has scored in double-digits in five straight games and has over 15 fantasy points in each of those contests. He had over 25 fantasy points against the Jazz and Lakers earlier this week before posting 17.25 fantasy points against the Rockets on 10-5-1 on Wednesday. If Rudy Gay is out tongiht, Casspi should get enough time to be a good cheap play. No Gay-∗∗

Terrence Jones-New Orleans Pelicans (4,300): Jones is in the same situation as Anderson on the other side of the Rockets-Pelicans game since he was with the Rockets and is returning with his new team from the Big Easy tonight. He had a 10-11-1 double-double last night in 26 minutes finishing with 2932.257 fantasy points. He has at least 20 fantasy points in each of his last four games, and he’s a great play when he gets the time on the floor. Since its the second night of a back-to-back, he could get more time like he did against Memphis back on 12/5 when he played 32 minutes. If he does get a bump in playing time, I like him to be around 25 fantasy points at least with the upside for much more as he tries to show Houston what they missed out on by not giving him the playing time during his time with the Rockets.
