High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Al Horford (at ORL – $6,400): Needs 28.5 fantasy points. I don’t know what’s going on with the Celtics. Horford is usually the glue that keeps everything together, but he’s not exactly been producing as for most of this season. The matchup is good, but his minutes are way down and I don’t have a great read on the Celtics with their in-fighting. Diagnosis: Very inconsistent, but a good ceiling.

Mason Plumlee (at PHO – $4,500): Needs 20.1 fantasy points. Plumlee had 39.9 fantasy points against the Clippers on Jan. 10. He got some extra run in the blowout and due to the matchup. This one could be a blowout as well, which means Plumlee could get extra run once again. Diagnosis: Take him only if you’re confident in a blowout.

Bismack Biyombo (at SAC – $4,100): Needs 18.3 fantasy points. You can take your pick between Biyombo and Hernangomez. Both of them have to play with Zeller out, but neither of them are all that great. The matchup is good with the Kings pace and maybe Biyombo hits on a big game, he’s proven in the past that he’s capable of doing so, but we haven’t seen much this season. Diagnosis: An option.
