High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Paul Millsap (at OKC – $6,300): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. Millsap had 32.4 fantasy points against the Magic on Friday. The Nuggets were able to rest some guys as they easily handled the Magic. Millsap has been up-and-down this season, but he’s played well recently and dominated the Thunder last season, averaging 51.3 fantasy points in two games against them. Diagnosis: Inconsistent, but the matchup is true and the ceiling is very high.

Marvin Bagley III (at GS – $5,500): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. Bagley III has definitely found his role as a spark off the bench and that could be big trouble for the Warriors, who don’t have much off the bench right now. The Warriors are on a back-to-back and, while they showed some life on Friday, the Kings are scrappy and the Warriors’ lack of depth is concerning. Diagnosis: Playing well, good salary, and really found his role on this team.

Taj Gibson (vs CHI – $4,300): Needs 17.5 fantasy points. Gibson had a huge 42.7 fantasy point game against the Nets on Friday. The Nets have frontcourt trouble, which is why Gibson was able to take advantage of them. But it’s not like the Bulls are much better in the frontcourt. He’s been up-and-down all season, but the matchup is good he’s shown a high ceiling. Diagnosis: If the minutes are there, the production will be there.
