High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Kyle Kuzma (vs MIN – $6,300): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. Kuzma has been a strong option for the Lakers in recent contests. I still don’t have a great feel for the Lakers, and even LeBron has been inconsistent, but Kuzma gets buckets and rebounds. Throw in a handful of assists and it’s easy to see why he’s been a consistent performer. The matchup is good as Minnesota doesn’t play defense. Diagnosis: Good salary and playing very well.

Serge Ibaka (at SAC – $6,200): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. Ibaka played just 14 minutes against the Jazz and still had 22.5 fantasy points. Chalk it up to a lack of minutes in a blowout and expect him to be better on Wednesday, assuming he’s back around his usual 25-plus minutes. He’s been fantastic this season and at this point, it doesn’t look like anyone on Toronto will cool off. Diagnosis: Matchup is good, but his play has been more than enough to keep taking him.

Jerami Grant (at CLE – $5,400): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. Grant had 30.7 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Nov. 5. Ever since he’s moved into the starting lineup he’s been a consistent option and he looks better with every game. No Westbrook may hurt a bit because Westbrook is a willing passer, but the rebounds and defense should be there. Plus, the Cavs should be taken advantage of. Diagnosis: Good salary for a consistent player with a high ceiling.
