High Value PF

James Johnson, MIA vs MEM ($5,100): Johnson delivered 32.8 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Friday. He’s been over value in four straight and continues to see extra opportunities with Kelly Olynyk out of the lineup. The Grizzlies are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. Johnson had 30.1 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Dec. 11. He’s playing well right now and this is a great matchup to take advantage up. He needs 22.2 fantasy points to reach value and should be over 25 fantasy points. ****

Marcus Morris, BOS at NY ($4,800): Morris had 26.2 fantasy points against the Pistons on Friday. He delivered 33 fantasy points in 19 minutes against the Knicks on Jan. 31. He needs 20.9 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. The Celtics are on a back-to-back, but that should not be too concerning given the matchup. The Knicks defense has offered little resistance all season and the Celtics offense looked as good as they’ve looked all season on Friday. Morris will easily be over value. ****

Carmelo Anthony, OKC at GS ($5,700): Anthony has been up-and-down in recent games. He was up against the Kings, posting 28.3 fantasy points in that contest. He played just six minutes in the Feb. 6 game against the Warriors, but had 30.5 fantasy points in the Nov. 22 tilt. He needs 24.8 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. His value is largely tied to his scoring, but he can chip in with rebounds. The Warriors are 27th against the position in their last 15 games. He’ll get his shots, it’s just a matter of them falling. ***
