High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jae Crowder (vs CHI – $4,800): Needs 20.3 fantasy points. Crowder continues to get solid minutes for the Jazz and I always love his game because he does a bit of everything. He can be inconsistent, but there’s plenty to love about this matchup and as long as he’s playing over 25 minutes, he’ll continue to contribute, especially as this salary. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kelly Oubre Jr (vs DEN – $4,900): Needs 20.7 fantasy points. KOJ has been solid for the Suns now that he’s gotten minutes. He’s an energy player who can do a bit of everything. I never worry about his effort and this is a game where his hustle is going to be huge because the Nuggets are just a more talented team. He’s played well with the extra minutes and as long as the minutes are there, he’ll deliver. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Davis Bertans (at OKC – $4,400): Needs 18.6 fantasy points. Bertans had 22.8 fantasy points in the double OT game on Thursday. I always love the random role player off the bench because those guys just kill the Thunder. And there’s not a lot to like at small forward on Saturday. Bertans will get his shots and he’s at a good salary to at least get value. Diagnosis: Reliable.
