High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jaren Jackson Jr (vs PHO – $6,500): Needs 27.7 fantasy points. After a rough first start in the league, Triple J looked better on Oct. 24 against the Kings, finishing with 32.4 fantasy points. The Suns aren’t much better than the Kings, so I expect Jackson Jr to deliver once more. Diagnosis: Does a little bit of everything and has a great matchup on Saturday.

Dario Saric (vs CHA – $6,000): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. If Embiid doesn’t end up playing, Saric will play a bigger role in the offense and on the boards. The Hornets might have tired legs with the back-to-back. The assist numbers for Saric were down against the Bucks, but expect those to come back up. His scoring and rebounds will almost always be there. Diagnosis: Great opportunity if Embiid is out of the lineup for Saric to step up in a big way.

Marcus Morris (at DET – $4,500): Needs 19.2 fantasy points. Morris has been up-and-down this season, but he’s getting plenty of minutes and he’s always going to take his shots. Against the Pistons, he might play a bit more as his size will be needed to keep up with Griffin and Drummond, especially with Aron Baynes out. Diagnosis: Circumstances are on his side and it’s never a bad thing to get low cost players who get shots.
