High Value SF
Jaylen Brown, BOS vs PHI ($5,700): Brown has been inconsistent against Philadelphia this season. He had 24.6 fantasy points against them on Oct. 20, 7.6 on Nov. 30, and 35.8 on Jan. 11. The truth is somewhere in between with Brown. I like the way he’s been playing as of late and he could see increased usage if Marcus Smart is out with an illness. I think he’ll be around 25 fantasy points in this one. ***
Robert Covington, PHI at BOS ($5,300): After missing value in four straight, Covington managed 24.6 fantasy points against the Raptors on Monday, putting him slightly over value. His scoring numbers have been way down recently and he’s failing to make up that value in other areas. He had a season low 6.1 fantasy points against the Celtics on Jan. 11. It’s hard to imagine him playing that poorly again, but his numbers have been down against Boston all season. **
PJ Tucker, HOU vs MIN ($3,700): With no Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green, I expect Tucker to see a lot of those minutes. He can fill in as the defender for Ariza and has a decent touch from three. He should play 30+ minutes in this one, which means he’ll have plenty of opportunities to contribute. He’s a low cost option who will likely hit value and could push 20+ fantasy points. ***
