High Value C
Paul Millsap, DEN at OKC ($6,100): Millsap has been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games. He needs 28 fantasy points to reach value on Friday. He had 47.75 fantasy points against the Thunder earlier this season and is averaging 46.6 fantasy points in his last three games against Oklahoma City. His role has been diminished in recent weeks, but the Nuggets are a rested group playing a Thunder team that is limping to the finish line even more than Denver at the moment. ***
Mike Muscala, ATL vs PHI ($4,400): Muscala has seen a bump in playing time recently and it’s done wonder for his production. He’s been over value in four of his last five games and is coming off a 29.5 fantasy point performance against the Timberwolves. No Joel Embiid will make his life a little easier on both ends of the court. Dewayne Dedmon might be an attractive option as well. Dedmon has the higher ceiling, but Muscala’s lower salary might be more within your budget. ***
Richaun Holmes, PHI at ATL ($4,200): No Embiid should mean a spot start for Holmes on Friday. He played 22 minutes in relief of Embiid on Wednesday, finishing with 25.25 fantasy points. He posted 34.75 fantasy points as a starter against the Timberwolves back in December. If it’s not Holmes who starts, grab whoever does picks up the start at center for the Sixers. Or whoever picks up the start elsewhere if they slide everyone down a postion. ***
