High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Bismack Biyombo (at IND – $4,300): Needs 19.1 fantasy points. Biyombo had 45.1 fantasy points against the Suns on Saturday. It’s the Suns but it still goes to show the kind of damage he can do. And everyone knew he can do that kind of damage with his scoring, rebounding and defense. The minutes will be there in this one for him and he’s at a good enough salary to where he’s not going to hurt you. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Willy Hernangomez (at IND – $4,000): Needs 17.8 fantasy points.And right with Biyombo is Hernangomez. His ceiling isn’t quite as high just because he doesn’t get quite the same minutes but he’s also good for scoring and rebounding. He played well against the Pacers last season, averaging 27.1 fantasy points in three games. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Jakob Poeltl (vs LAC – $3,900): Needs 17.4 fantasy points. He’s an option. He’s been up-and-down and his minutes are never guaranteed. But he has shown a high ceiling when he has gotten the minutes. Once again, his minutes are not a guarantee. Spend the extra $100 and take Hernangomez. Money should not be an issue for you on Sunday. Diagnosis: An option.
