High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Serge Ibaka (vs PHI – $5,200): Needs 22 fantasy points. Ibaka had 45.3 fantasy points against the Bucks on Monday. No Kawhi allowed for more shots, but he still scored 30, which is impressive with or without a superstar next to him. As always with Ibaka, when he’s hot, he’s really hot. Diagnosis: The matchup might be a little tough, but I love going with Ibaka when he’s hot like he has been this season.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at HOU – $5,100): Needs 21.5 fantasy points. Aminu had 24 fantasy points against the Pacers on Monday. He’s been inconsistent this season, but I love the matchup against the Rockets and Aminu is able to contribute with scoring and rebounding. Diagnosis: Inconsistent option, but high ceiling and a very good matchup based on what we’ve seen from the Rockets.

Patrick Patterson (vs LAC – $3,500): Needs 14.8 fantasy points. Patterson could see big minutes if Noel and Adams are both out for the Thunder. Even if one plays, Patterson should still play big minutes. He was good against the Suns, but that was the Suns. If he continues to shoot the way he has, that’s a big sign for his value. Diagnosis: Circumstances could dictate a big game. Low salary guy who won’t hurt you.
