High Value C

Mason Plumlee-Portland Trail Blazers (5,700): While he couldn’t do much to slow down Cousins in their meeting last week, Plumlee had 27-13-5 for 57.75 fantasy points against the Kings. The Blazers will need him to step up again tonight if Lillard is out, and Plumlee did just that with 13-15-4 for 39.25 fantasy points on Monday against the Raptors. His defensive struggles can be frustrating sometimes leading to a lack of minutes like on Friday against the Spurs, but Plumlee offers a lot on the offensive end to a Blazers team that will need the help tonight against the Kings. ∗∗∗∗

Robin Lopez-Chicago Bulls (4,800): RoLo gets a great matchup against his brother Brook Lopez and the Nets tonight. Brooklyn leads the NBA in fantasy points allowed to opposing centers which should let Robin accept the holiday generosity of his brother tonight. Lopez had 8-12-0 for 27.5 fantasy points on Monday against the Pacers which was his first game with over 25 fantasy points in the last two weeks. Even though he doesn’t come in with the best form, Lopez is worth considering if you have to go cheap since his matchup gives him lots of upside.∗∗

Bismack Biyombo-Orlando Magic (4,400): Biyombo had 10-12-0 for a solid 26 fantasy points on a double-double against the Grizzlies on Monday and continues to turn in solid if not spectacular numbers for the Magic in their staring five. He has at least 25 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games and gets a good matchup tonight against the Hornets who are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season.∗∗∗
