High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jarrett Allen (at NO – $6,400): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. Allen had 30.1 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Oct. 24. It’s the Cavaliers, so it’s not too impressive, but he’s been impressive all season aside from a clunker against the Pacers. He’ll get plenty of minutes to deal with Davis and the bigs New Orleans can throw at them. Diagnosis: He’s been reliable and should get the minutes to produce.

Brook Lopez (at MIN – $5,800): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. Lopez has become somewhat of a stretch five for the Bucks and it’s working out just fine for them. He’s settled into his role after just a few games and I’m liking what I’m seeing in Milwaukee. As always with the Bucks, take Giannis or take guys around Giannis. Lopez is one of those guys you can take at a lower cost. Diagnosis: Good low-cost option for your center spot.

Cody Zeller (vs CHI – $4,200): Needs 19.5 fantasy points. Zeller had 24.2 fantasy points against the Bulls on Oct. 24. He hasn’t played well against the best teams in the East, but he’s been very good against the mediocre to bad ones. The Hornets are in the mediocre to bad category, so I expect Zeller to be solid once again. Diagnosis: Reliable option given the matchup.
