High Value PF

Thaddeus Young-Indiana Pacers (5,500): The Pacers have been getting great play from Young lately who ha at least 35 fantasy points in three of his last four contests. He had 19-1-3 with a block and a steal in Utah on Saturday in his most recent game, and he also had a big game the last time Indiana took on tonight’s opponents, the Knicks. In that game, Young finished wth 16-9-2 with a massive six steals for 42.25 fantasy points. He had three steals or more in four of his last five games before only getting the one against Utah, but he should be a strong mid-range play tonight against the Knicks.∗∗∗∗

David Lee-San Antonio Spurs (5,500): Since the Spurs lost Pau Gasol to a finger injuries in warm-ups last week, Lee has come up huge with two games over 35 fantasy points. He had 10-16-2 for 38.5 fantasy points against Denver on Thursday and then went off again for 14-11-3 in 36 minutes against the Cavs for 35.2 fantasy points. He’s in a great matchup against Brooklyn tonight, and Lee has definitely emerged as a go-to mid-range option once again.∗∗∗∗

Derrick Favors-Utah Jazz (4,900): He still isn’t at his best yet after being deralied by injuries earlier this season, but Favors has at least 21 fantasy points in five of his last six games. He was shut down for just 11 fantasy points last Friday in Dallas, but bounced back nicely with 23.7 fantasy points against the Pacers and Thaddeus Young on Saturday. At under 5K, Favors definitely offers nice upside, but he isn’t in the best form as he welcomes the Thunder and his former teammate Enes Kanter to Salt Lake City tonight.∗∗

Kris Humphries-Atlanta Hawks (3,400): Humphries has filled in nicely for the injured Mike Muscala as the Hawks primary big man backup. He has at least 17 fantasy points in each of his last four games with two games over 25 fantasy points. If Muscala is ruled out for tonight, Hump will again be a nice ultra-cheap flier who should at least get solid numbers even if he doesn’t go off against LA.∗∗
