High Value C

Myles Turner, IND vs CHI ($6,600): Turner has been a huge disappointment in recent games. He’s missed value in five straight and been under value by 10-plus fantasy points in three of those five. His salary has sunk to where he needs 27 fantasy points on Saturday. The Bulls are third against the position in their last 15 games, so this isn’t even a good matchup on paper for Turner. If Oladipo doesn’t play, don’t bother with Turner. But if Oladipo is back, I think things will open up more for him and he exceeds expectations. He’s still a risk. **

Bismack Biyombo, ORL vs CLE ($6,200): Biyombo could not stay on the floor against the Rockets, playing just 18 minutes. He should have an easier time against the Cavaliers, especially if they’re forced to go with Tristian Thompson if Kevin Love is unable to play. Biyombo can still get easy points and rebounds along with making a couple of defensive plays. I don’t love him, but I’m banking on him not getting run off the floor and contributing the way he did prior to the Houston game. ***

Aron Baynes, BOS at BKN ($3,700): Baynes has hit value in three straight and four of his last five. He had 29 fantasy points on Sunday against the Nets. He’ll likely see 20-plus minutes of action again given the matchup. The Nets are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. If you’re looking for a really cheap option who will get 20-plus fantasy points so you can load at other positions, Baynes is your best bet ****
