High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Nemanja Bjelica (vs GS – $6,500): Needs 27.3 fantasy points. You know what you’re getting from Bjelica on most nights. The minutes are there and he can do a bit of everything. His fantasy numbers haven’t been great against the Warriors this season, but that’s mainly been due to a lack of minutes. Again, the minutes are there right now. As long as he gets around 30 minutes in this game, he’ll have no issue getting value. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kyle Anderson (at SA – $6,100): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. It’s a back-to-back for the Grizzlies, but I trust Anderson due to his typically steady play. It’s not quite a revenge game because he already played the Spurs earlier this season. He had 27.8 fantasy points in that game. He should be able to put up a similar performance in this game, as long as the Spurs don’t blow the doors off Memphis. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Danuel House (at POR – $4,700): Needs 19.8 fantasy points. House continues to be a reliable option during this recent stretch. His salary isn’t really going to hurt you and the minutes are always there for him. Maybe his shooting tails off at some point, but until I see it, I won’t believe it. And he chips in with rebounding. The Blazers can be a tough matchup, especially at home, but they are on a back-to-back and House always brings energy that hurts opponents. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
