High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Robert Covington (at OKC – $6,200): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. Covington was up to 42.9 fantasy points in 31 minutes against the Spurs on Dec. 21. His minutes were down as the Spurs just keep blowing teams out. The minutes will be there and he’s definitely looking healthy after the knee injury. He will continue to post strong game given his all-around ability and the minutes he gets. Diagnosis: High ceiling and good matchup with OKC being on a back-to-back.

Joe Harris (vs PHO – $4,500): Needs 18.7 fantasy points. Harris is always fairly reliable due to the minutes he gets and his usual contributions. The matchup is great as the Suns are on a back-to-back. Harris should be able to get his scoring numbers while chipping in with rebounds and assists. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Justise Winslow (at ORL – $5,300): Needs 22 fantasy points. Winslow returned to the lineup on Saturday and had 24.7 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Bucks. He’s still getting back into the rhythm and should be better in this game. The matchup is certainly a great one because the Magic are not good. Expect Winslow to round into form and hit with a strong game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
