High Value SF

Taurean Prince, ATL at IND ($5,700): Prince is getting a chance to really run the Atlanta offense right now and it’s meant big things for his value. He’s averaging 28 fantasy points in three games against the Pacers this season and managed 34.9 fantasy points against them on Feb. 28. He needs 24.8 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. He should push 30 fantasy points once again given his usage rate. ***

Bojan Bogdanovic, IND vs ATL ($5,600): The Hawks are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Bogdanovic has been hit-and-miss against them this season, but is coming off a 31.6 fantasy point performance against Atlanta on Feb. 28. If Darren Collison is able to return, he will cut into Bogdanovic’s value ever so slightly. Even with Collison in the lineup, this is a good matchup and one that should produce 27-30 fantasy points for Bogdanovic. ***

Kelly Oubre Jr., WAS at NO ($5,300): If Otto Porter Jr. is out on Friday, expect Oubre Jr. to slide into his starting spot. Oubre Jr. can do similar things to Porter Jr., albeit at a slightly lower and more out of control level. He needs 23 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. That should be no issue if he’s the starting small forward. On top of that, the Pelicans defense is in the bottom half of the league and will look even worse without Davis. Even if he’s coming off the bench, he’s a nice low cost option who will hit value. ***
