High Value C

Dragan Bender, PHO at MIL ($4,800): Bender had 26.5 fantasy points against the Bucks on Nov. 22. He continues to draw the start and play big minutes for the Suns. The Bucks defense is at the bottom of the league and Bender should be able to get his fair share of points to go along with plenty of rebounds. If you’re deciding between Bender and Henson, I like Bender more. If you want to stay away from this game, I like Montrezl Harrell to bounce back after a rough performance against the Jazz. ****

John Henson, MIL vs PHO ($4,800): The Suns are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Henson has missed value in three of his last four. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the lineup, I figured Henson would get more rebounding opportunities, but it’s tough to get rebounds when the other team doesn’t miss. Phoenix should create plenty of rebounding opportunities and Henson should grab more than four boards. He’ll also get a handful of points, possibly reaching a double-double. I like Henson to be around 25 fantasy points in this one. ***

John Collins, ATL vs UTA ($4,700): Collins has been over 25 fantasy points in three straight. He had been inconsistent following his return from injury, but has looked more like the player he was early in the season, in recent contests. The Jazz are 17th against the position in their last 15 games. Collins is a solid rebounder who helps his value with his ability to get points and assists. He’s a low-end double-double threat. He should get the 20.4 fantasy points he needs to hit value with his rebounding and scoring in this one. ***
