High Value C

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (5,400): Thompson has three double-doubles in his last four games. He is a boom or bust play which is definitely easy to see from his 49.9 and 41.3 fantasy points sandwiched around an ugly game with zero points and 8.6 fantasy points. Tonight, he gets a good matchup with the Knicks, but Kevin Love’s return could limit his usage a bit.∗∗

Guillermo Hernangomez-New York Knicks (5,300): On the other side of that matchup is another volatile option who has been excellent in his last two contests. Hernangomez put together 15-14-4 for 36.8 fantasy points against the Wizards in a spot start on Tuesday and followed that with an even more surprising 16-16-2 for 43.2 fantasy points against the Nets the next night while he was coming off the bench. His role for tonight’s game against Cleveland is unclear, but he should have earned more playing time with his two big games.∗∗

JaVale McGee-Golden State Warriors (3,700): McGee has been starting for the Warriors but still only playing limited minutes. Despite playing no more than 17 minutes, he had 20.8 fantasy points against the Hornets and 23.6 fantasy points against the Clippers in his last two games. Tonight, the Warriors may need to play him more against DeMarcus Cousins, and if McGee continues to produce at the same per-minute level he’ll be a strong play again tonight.∗∗∗
