High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Brandon Ingram (at DEN – $6,300): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. Ingram was at 26.7 fantasy points against the Magic on Nov. 25. Ingram is as inconsistent as they come right now and while I love the fit with LeBron, it hasn’t exactly worked out early in the season. That said, Ingram has been solid when LeBron has been off the floor, so at least there’s that. Diagnosis: Reliable enough. But I can’t get a grip on him. The ceiling is there.

Serge Ibaka (at MEM – $6,000): Needs 24.4 fantasy points. Ibaka was down to 20.9 fantasy points against the Heat. That’s concerning given how good he’s played this season. The shooting hasn’t been there, which is rough because he is a streaky shooter. He’s doing enough in other categories but needs shots to fall to really boost his value. Tough matchup. Diagnosis: Salary is solid, which helps. He’s earned trust this year to bounce back.

Kyle Kuzma (at DEN – $5,700): Needs 23.2 fantasy points. Kuzma was up to 35.3 fantasy points against the Magic on Nov. 25. He had 33.6 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Oct. 25, but Ingram didn’t play in that contest. He gets the minutes and he’s a shooter, which helps keep him on the floor. If this game turns into a track meet, Kuzma will deliver. Diagnosis: Nice salary and a high ceiling.
