High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Harrison Barnes (at BOS – $5,900): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. Barnes has been producing strong games despite limited minutes due to blowouts. This game should be competitive, which means his minutes will be up. It’s a tough matchup and the Mavericks aren’t quite as good on the road, but I like Barnes’ scoring ability in these road games. Diagnosis: Value largely tied to scoring, but he’s a reliable scorer on the road.

Jeff Green (at MIA – $5,800): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. When Green gets minutes, he produces. There’s always a chance that his minutes fall off, especially with Porter back in the lineup, but Washington needs something right now and he’s been delivering. He puts up numbers in all categories and as long as he starts, I’ll continue to trust him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Bojan Bogdanovic (at CHI – $5,500): Needs 23.2 fantasy points. Bogdanovic is as reliable as they come right now and he gets the Bulls. He does a bit of everything, remains at a good salary and is rarely going to hurt your team. This feels like a game where the Pacers get contributions from everyone in a comfortable win, which means Bogdanovic will do his usual thing. Diagnosis: Reliable, good matchup, solid ceiling if shots are falling.
