High Value PF

Al-Farouq Aminu, POR vs HOU ($5,800): Aminu posted 42.6 fantasy points against the Clippers on Sunday. His salary has jumped to where he needs 25.1 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He was held to 8.6 fantasy points against the Rockets on Jan. 10. He’s been an inconsistent player this season, hitting value in just 56 percent of games, but he’s hot right now and is making his presence felt in all categories for the Trail Blazers. ***

Nikola Mirotic, NO vs DAL ($5,500): After a 11.3 fantasy point performance against the Rockets on Saturday, Mirotic has bounced back with 44.5 fantasy points against the Celtics on Sunday. He’s been hit-and-miss as a member of the Pelicans and his minutes have declined in the last few games. But this is a great matchup for the New Orleans forward. He had 35 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Mar. 4. He’s a streaky player and there is hope that he’s hot following his game against Boston. ***

Jae Crowder, UTA vs ATL ($5,400): No Derrick Favors may not mean a moving into the starting lineup for Jae Crowder, that will likely go to Jonas Jerebko, but it does mean solid minutes and playing time with the starters. Crowder underperformed against the Kings on Saturday, finishing with 18.1 fantasy points, but with Favors out of the lineup, he should be back over value the 23.4 fantasy points he needs to hit value on Tuesday. ****
