High Value SF

Wilson Chandler-Denver Nuggets (5,700): Chandler has been a picture of inconsistency throughout this season with Denver, but things would seem to be aligning for him to produce a monster game tonight. Danilo Gallinari is out and Will Barton is questionable which should lead plenty of playing time for Chandler to fill up. He just went off for 53.25 fantasy points against the Lakers on Tuesday with 26-9-4 and three steals, but he followed that with only 16.25 fantasy points against the Grizzlies. Despite that letdown, I like him tonight since the Bucks have been bad against SF all season with only the Nets giving up more fantasy points per game.∗∗∗∗

P.J. Tucker-Phoenix Suns (4,400): Tucker has been a consistent option for the Suns and DFS owners over the last few weeks, and he’s in a good matchup which is enough to earn him a look at under 5K. Tucker is coming off a nice double-double against the Clippers on Wednesday when he had 10-14-2 for 37 fantasy points. He has at least 26 fantasy points in five of his last seven games and has scored double-digit points in six of those seven contests. He doesn’t have an extremely high ceiling, but he is a low-risk play against the Kings who are running out of SF options.∗∗∗

Shabazz Muhammad-Minnesota Timberwolves (4,000): Muhammad is also turning into a go-to cheap option in my DraftKings daily picks as he climbs into a bigger role with Minnesota although he hasn’t moved into the starting lineup yet. He played 31 minutes agist the Cavs on Wednesday, though, and posted 16-6-2 for 29.5 fantasy points. He has at least 22 fantasy points in four of his last six games and is worth a look even in a tough matchup with the Pistons tonight.∗∗

Matt Barnes-Sacramento Kings (3,900): If you have to go cheapener 4K at SF, despite his on-going legal issues, Barnes is expected to be available tonight against Phoenix and could get extra playing time with Garrett Temple out along with Rudy Gay. Barnes has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last two games after 16-3-2 for 26.25 fantasy points against the Sixers and 5-11-3 for 22.75 fantasy points against the Rockets. He’s a roll-of-the-dice with limited upside, but he does find ways to contribute when given playing time∗
