High Value C
Greg Monroe, BOS vs ATL ($5,900): With Horford on a minutes restriction, Monroe should see those extra minutes. He played 28 minutes against Chicago, finishing with 56.75 fantasy points. As long as he plays 20-plus minutes, he’ll be over the 26.7 fantasy points he needs for value. ***
Dewayne Dedmon, ATL at BOS ($5,300): Dedmon had 39 fantasy points in 32 minutes against the Wizards on Friday. He and John Collins continue to make for a formidable frontcourt duo for the Hawks. He needs 24 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. As long as he plays 30-plus minutes, he should have no issue going over 30 fantasy points. ****
Derrick Favors, UTA at LAL ($5,500): Favors has been oner value in four straight. He had 26.5 fantasy points against the Lakers earlier this week and needs 24.9 fantasy points to hit value on Sunday. He should get his usual points and rebounds against an overmatched Lakers squad. And with Utah playing their starters their typical minutes, he’ll get you at least 25 fantasy points. ***
Bismack Biyombo, ORL at TOR ($4,100): If Nikola Vucevic doesn’t end up playing on Sunday, that paves the way for Biyombo to pick up another start. He’s been over value in his last two games as the starter. If he doesn’t start, he likely won’t play enough minutes to reach the 18.5 fantasy points he needs for value. But if he starts, he’s a reliable option. **
