High Value C

Bismack Biyombo, ORL vs MIN ($6,400): The Timberwolves have been much better defensively in recent weeks, but they still rank 24th against the position in their last 15 games. Biyombo continues to be a strong presence in the paint for the Magic. He had 51.6 fantasy points against the Wizards. I don’t love anyone on Orlando, but Biyombo is a big-time rebounder who gets easy points. ***

Tyson Chandler, PHO at POR ($4,800): Chandler has hit value in eight of his last nine. The Suns frontcourt rotation has gone back to being all over the place, but Chandler remains the starting center and typically plays around 25-plus minutes a night. He’ll be matched up with Jusuf Nurkic all night and will contribute on the glass and with a couple of defensive plays. He hasn’t been great against Portland this season, but both of those games were in October. ***

Aron Baynes, BOS vs NO ($3,800): The Pelicans are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Baynes has been hit-and-miss this season, hitting value in 50 percent of games. He had hit value in four straight prior to contributing just 13.1 fantasy points against the Sixers in London. Baynes should see plenty of playing time given the matchup and will have a chance to contribute in the paint and on the glass. He’s not a risk at this price and basically serves as a money saver to load up at other positions. ***
