BOSTON, MA – MARCH 31: Serge Ibaka
BOSTON, MA – MARCH 31: Serge Ibaka /

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Serge Ibaka (at LAL – $6,500): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. Ibaka continues to deliver. Whether he’s starting or coming off the bench, he’s getting points, rebounds, and stepping up on the defensive end. With the Lakers lack of size, he should continue his hot streak. Longtime readers already know the deal. When Ibaka is hot, keep taking him. Diagnosis: Salary is climbing, but the matchup is good and he’s hot.

Pascal Siakam (at LAL – $5,800): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. If you don’t like Ibaka’s high salary, Siam is a great fallback. His ceiling is just as high and he’s playing just as well as Ibaka. Ibaka has proven a bit more throughout this season and in his career, but there’s no denying how well Siakam has played over the last week. Diagnosis: Great matchup, reliable at worst, and could have a big rebounding game.

Al-Farouq Aminu (vs MIN – $5,100): Needs 21.8 fantasy points. Aminu had 34.6 fantasy points against the Lakers on Saturday. His scoring wasn’t there, but he made up value with his rebounding. He’s been inconsistent all season, but he’s put together two strong games and can do a bit of everything (except get assists) when he’s at his best. Diagnosis: I like the matchup and Amino’s scoring and rebounding ability.
