WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 13: Otto Porter Jr. /

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Bogdan Bogdanovic (at PHO – $5,900): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. Bogdan continues to deliver and he’s turning into one of the more reliable players in DFS. The Kings just have these guys who can do a bit of everything and with their pace, they always come into a lot of DFS points. It’s a back-to-back for the Kings, but they get to play the Suns. I have to trust the matchup and Bogdanovic continues to roll. Diagnosis: Very reliable and a good ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (at PHI – $5,600): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. Maybe the Wizards have something with Otto coming off the bench. He had 42.5 fantasy points against the Thunder in just 24 minutes. His minutes should continue to climb and if he’s playing against opposing second units, that should help his value. It’s not like the Sixers have a lot of depth. Diagnosis: The bench seems to suit him because he’s getting shots. No John Wall might be helping there as well.

Marvin Williams (at LAC – $5,300): Needs 24.2 fantasy points. Williams has been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games. He’s scoring the ball well and doing enough with his rebounding to make him worth your while. The Clippers are a good matchup as they struggle against the position. I’ll keep riding Williams while he’s hot, especially against this matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
