High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Brandon Ingram (at MIA – $6,100): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. Ingram had 34.7 fantasy points against the Magic on Saturday. I continue to love his fit next to LeBron and with Rondo out of the lineup, he’s able to do more as a playmaker. While the rest of the young Lakers have struggled to fit in, Ingram is making it work. Because of that, I’ll trust him to be over value once again on Sunday. Diagnosis: Proven more than Kuzma next to LeBron and will continue to be used in a variety of ways with Rondo out.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at WAS – $5,400): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. Aminu had 35 fantasy points against the Wizards on Oct. 22. He’s a versatile player who gets plenty of minutes and should continue to get those minutes against the Wizards. I just don’t trust the Wizards defense right now and I like Aminu’s overall game. He’s a bit inconsistent, but he can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Proven and good matchup.

Markieff Morris (vs POR – $4,700): Needs 19.4 fantasy points. Morris was down to 10.4 fantasy points against the Nets on Nov. 16. His minutes have gone way down with Dwight Howard in the lineup, which is a big cause for concern. He did have 45.3 fantasy points against the Blazers on Oct. 22, so that’s a good sign for his value. The shots will be there, but the Wizards are weird. Diagnosis: High ceiling, high risk.

Quick Hits

Jonas Jerebko ($3,900): If you want someone a little more reliable than Morris, Jerebko would seem to be that guy.
