High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Bojan Bogdanovic (at ORL – $5,100): Needs 21 fantasy points. Bogdanovic had 26.2 fantasy points against the Bulls on Dec. 4. He’s been typically reliable with Oladipo out of the lineup. The minutes and opportunities are certainly there. The Magic have been playing better, but their defense still has some holes and Bogdanovic can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Justise Winslow (at PHO – $4,900): Needs 20.2 fantasy points. Winslow was up to 29 fantasy points against the Magic on Dec. 4. The return of Dragic will likely cut into his value, but it’s the Suns. And Winslow is going to get plenty of minutes to produce. Did I mention that it’s the Suns? Have you seen how bad they’ve been in recent games? And it’s a back-to-back. This game should be outlawed. Diagnosis: SUNS ON A BACK-TO-BACK!

Cedi Osman (vs SAC – $4,800): Needs 19.8 fantasy points. Osman has been inconsistent, but that’s to be expected given that it’s his first real season in the league. He did have 26.1 fantasy points against the Warriors on Dec. 5 and has shown a high ceiling. The Kings have looked better, but their defense can still be taken advantage of. And Osman can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Low-cost, reliable, good ceiling. I expect him to overdeliver in this one.
