High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Al-Farouq Aminu (at DEN – $5,800): Needs 25 fantasy points. Aminu is delivering solid outings even in limited minutes. His minutes should be up in this one as the Nuggets, even on the back-to-back, should be able to keep this game competitive. He had 31.9 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Nov. 30 and typically does a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

PJ Tucker (at ORL – $5,200): Needs 22.5 fantasy points. Tucker was down to 13.9 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Jan. 11. Everything said about Green pretty much applies to Tucker. The minutes will continue to be there and he does more in other categories than most players on the Rockets, but he also does seem to be as consistent. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling.

Jonas Jerebko (at DAL – $3,600): Needs 15.5 fantasy points. This is all about the matchup. Jerebko had 23 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Nov. 17. And he followed that up with 37.7 fantasy points against them on Dec. 22. For some reason, this just seems to be his matchup. Maybe he can do it again? Diagnosis: Proven matchup, but there is no real guarantee with him.
