High Value PF

Kyle Kuzma, LAL at HOU ($6,500): Kuzma has missed value in his last two, but he’s owned the Rockets this season. In two games against Houston, he’s averaging 47.9 fantasy points. His shot hasn’t fallen in recent contests, but he’s done a solid job on the boards and continues to get plenty of shots in the Lakers offense. The Lakers definitely need him to get hot again if they hope to upset the Rockets. He’s a slight risk just because it’s always possible he remains cold, but I do like him at value (27.9 fantasy points). ***

Zach Randolph, SAC vs MEM ($5,700): If you believe in the “revenge game” theory like I do, you’ll have no issue taking Randolph in this one. While Randolph didn’t leave Memphis with any ill-will, this is a game he will get up for and his teammates will look to create for him. His minutes have been down recently and the Grizzlies are on a back-to-back. Randolph should have an extra spring in his step for this one. He needs 24.5 fantasy points to hit value. I like him to be over 30 fantasy points and then some. *****

Domantas Sabonis, IND vs MIN ($5,500): The Timberwolves are first against power forwards in their last 15 games, but last against centers. Sabonis sees time at both positions, but has the skills of a center that can trouble the Timberwolves. He’s been over 35 fantasy in two of his last four games and had 32.7 fantasy points against the Timberwolves back in October. Expect the Pacers to utilize Sabonis’ skillset to exploit the defense of Karl-Anthony Towns. ****
