High Value PF

David Lee-San Antonio Spurs (5,700): Lee gets a potential “revenge game” as he takes on the Mavericks who he played with last season. Lee has played an big role for the Spurs in their last five games since they lost Pau Gasol, and he has at least 28 fantasy points in four of those contests. Earlier this season, he had 12-4-3 with a block and two steals against the Mavericks in a spot start in place of Aldridge. Tonight, he’ll start again next to LaMarcus Aldridge and I like his upside at under 6K.∗∗∗

Dirk Nowitzki-Dallas Mavericks (5,000): On the other side of that Texas-sized matchup, Dirk should return after getting a break on the second half of the Mavericks’ back-to-back off on Thursday. In his last game, he played well Wednesday totaling 33 fantasy points on 19-4-2 against the Knicks. Dirk has at least 29 fantasy points in six of his last eight games and he is a solid play at just 5K tonight.∗∗∗

Dario Saric-Philadelphia 76ers (4,300): The Sixers have been getting good minutes from Saric coming off the bench although his shooting has still been erratic at times. The rookie has at least 21 fantasy points in three straight and five of his last seven after 12-4-2 for 23 fantasy points against Houston (and our next bargain buy)on Friday. If you need a cheap PF, Saric brings solid upside but his hot-and-cold shooting does make him risky.∗∗

Sam Dekker-Houston Rockets (4,000): The Rockets have been giving Dekker plenty of chances lately resulting in him playingat least 25 minutes in six of his last seven games. He has at least 15 points in three of his last five and since he shoots so many three-pointers can be a huge threat as evidenced by his 24.5 fantasy points, 43.25 fantasy points, and 31.25 fantasy points in those three successful contests. He did have just 9-3-1 for 18.75 fantasy points on Friday in Philly against Saric and the Sixers . Still, if you need to spend 4K at forward tonight, Dekker is the option getting the playing time to have the upside to be worth checking out.∗

Donatas Motiejunas-New Orleans Pelicans (3,500): Another cheap option stepping up a bit lately has been Donatas Motiejunas who is settling in nicely with New Orleans. D-Mo has scored in double-digits in three straight and is coming off one of his best fantasy games of the season. On Friday, he played 22 minutes against the Spurs and had 10-7-4 with two blocks for 31.25 fantasy points. He has over 24 fantasy points in two of his last three games, and he should get enough time tonight against Washington to turn in another solid stat line.∗∗∗
