High Value C

Enes Kanter – OKC Thunder ($5400): You have to love Kanter because he remains reasonably priced and can put up bursts of fantasy points in small amounts of playing time. He’s posted 76 FP in just 43 minutes over his last two games. Tonight the matchup gets a bit tougher with Dallas, but Kanter should put the nails to Mejri or whoever he’s up against tonight.

Willy Hernangomez – New York Knicks ($5200): Hernangomez usually takes advantage of increased playing time and he’s done just that recently with injuries to Lance Thomas and Carmelo Anthony. He just went off against the Spurs for 46.75 in his last game, and he should get plenty of minutes tonight against Andre Drummond.

Jonas Valanciunas – Toronto Raptors ($4700): Valanciunas is averaging 34 FP against Orlando this year and as good as Nikola Vucevic is, he’s not very good on defense. Like Kanter, Jonas doesn’t need a lot of minutes to put up big numbers. He’s been getting about 20-25 minutes a night, and that’s enough run for him to put up 30 or more.

Serge Ibaka – Orlando Magic ($6100): Does the revenge factor come into play against teams you barely played for? Ibaka was a Magic for a short spell this year, and I like him tonight mostly because of the matchup, not because of the revenge factor. Ibaka has had a March to forget fantasy-wise, and he eclipsed 30 FP for the first time in eight games on Saturday against Dallas. He’s been getting a steady dose of double-digit shot attempts, and a team like Orlando is one where he can have a greater impact on the boards.
