High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Otto Porter Jr. (at SAC – $6,300): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. I still can’t figure out the Wizards and I really can’t figure out Otto Porter. He’s great one game and invisible the next. He’s coming off a bad game, so if the trend continues, he should be better in this one. It certainly helps that the Wizards will be playing the Kings. Diagnosis: Good matchup, but inconsistencies are worrying. I’ll trust the matchup.

Nemanja Bjelica (vs WAS – $5,800): Needs 24 fantasy points. Much like Porter, Bjelica has been an up-and-down option this season. It’s almost fitting that these two will be matched up against each other. Bjelica is coming off a good game, so if the trend continues, he won’t be good in this one. But the Wizards feel like a team who he can break the trend against. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a high ceiling and a good matchup.

E’Twaun Moore (vs BKN – $4,600): Needs 19.1 fantasy points. After a hot start to the season, Moore has settled into where he should be. Keep in mind, he’s still a solid option in the best offense in the league. His value is largely tied to his scoring, but it seems like everyone on the Pelicans is scoring nowadays. Diagnosis: Reliable option who can impress if his shot is falling. Good matchup for a great offense.
