High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Boban Marjanovic (at DAL – $4,800): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. It’s rough after the high salary guys. Boban has the highest ceiling and can put up big numbers in a limited amount of minutes, but there’s also a chance that he never gets on the floor. If he’s in the starting lineup, go ahead and roll with him. But if he’s coming off the bench, well, he may never get off the bench. Diagnosis: High risk, decent reward.

Bam Adebayo (vs UTA – $4,600): Needs 20.4 fantasy points. As mentioned with Olynyk, the Heat frontcourt rotation can be all over the place, which makes it tough to trust any of them. Adebayo has shown a high ceiling and he’s been getting consistent minutes as of late but, but those minutes may disappear at a moments notice. Diagnosis: High ceiling, but minutes are always concerning and the matchup is tough.

Mike Muscala (vs MEM – $3,800): Needs 16.9 fantasy points. Muscala had 33 fantasy points against the Wizards on Nov. 30. His minutes have been up in the last two games as they’ve been blowouts. You can’t expect that on Sunday, although he has played decent minutes in more competitive games. He’s a solid enough scorer and rebounder, but I’m just not sure how much he’ll be able to stay on the floor against the Grizzlies. Diagnosis: An option.
