High Value PF

Marquese Chriss, PHO vs SAC ($5,900): Chriss has been over 35 fantasy points in his last three games. He’s making a big impact for the Suns heading into next season and he’s definitely helped out by injuries to guys like Alex Len and Tyson Chandler. Len might be back on Tuesday, which could cut into Chriss’ value, but there is guarantee Len will log big minutes, while Chriss seems like a safe bet to play 30-plus minutes right now. He’ll be over 30 fantasy points once again. ****

Lauri Markkanen, CHI vs CHA ($5,700): Markkanen has been over 30 fantasy points in his last three games. He’s not logging as many minutes as he probably should given that he’s the future face of the franchise, but the Bulls seem to be taking his workload easy with his back issues. The good news is that he’s posting the second highest usage rate on the Bulls, so when he’s in there, he’s getting plenty of opportunities to shine. ***

Mike Muscala, ATL at MIA ($4,300): Muscala posted 32.5 fantasy points against the Magic on Sunday. The Heat present a much tougher matchup, but there’s no denying Muscala’s strong play as of late. He’s getting 25-plus minutes off the bench in Atlanta and has been over 25 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He needs 19.4 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. He can do a little bit of everything and has an affordable salary to help you get a couple of higher priced players. ***
