High Value PF

Kelly Olynyk, MIA at POR ($5,100): There is no high salary power forwards on Monday’s slate, so you’re looking at nothing but value at this position. And Olynyk is the best of the bunch, especially at this salary. He’s been over value in five straight, going over 30 fantasy points in three of those contests. Bam Adebayo will draw the start if Whiteside can’t play, but Olynyk will see the more productive minutes out of the post. ****

Ed Davis, POR vs MIA ($4,500): Davis has started to take some minutes away from Jusuf Nurkic, who is currently struggling to fit in. Davis has been over value in six straight and is coming off a 39 fantasy point effort against the Warriors on Friday. If Hassan Whiteside doesn’t play, the Trail Blazers may like the skills of Davis more than the bruising style of Nurkic. He should be over 20 fantasy points without too much trouble. ***

Jerami Grant, OKC vs SAC ($4,000): If Steven Adams is out, Grant could find himself in the starting lineup. He plays a lot as the small ball center, and even if he doesn’t start, he should see an increase in minutes with Adams sidelined. If Adams plays, Grant isn’t worth taking a second look at. He had 24.6 fantasy points against the Spurs, seeing an increase in usage following Adams rolling his ankle. He needs 17 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. No Adams means he’ll be over 20 fantasy points. ***
