High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

DeAndre’ Bembry (at CHI – $5,900): Needs 24.7 fantasy points. Bembry had 40.9 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 21. And now he gets the Bulls. If Huerter is out of the lineup them Bembry should continue to see more opportunities. And it’s the Bulls. Bembry does a bit of everything which helps and the Hawks play at a high pace which also helps. A lot of things working in Bembry’s favor in this one. But mainly. He gets to play the Bulls. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Rudy Gay (at PHI – $5,500): Needs 23 fantasy points. Gay has been over 30 fantasy points in his last two games. His minutes are back up to where they were prior to his injury and he’s had to step up with DeRozan’s game tailing off a bit. The scoring numbers should be there in this one as the Sixers defense isn’t great and they could be without a couple of starters. And he’ll chip in with rebounds and maybe a defensive play or two. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jae Crowder (vs DEN – $5,400): Needs 22.6 fantasy points. Crowder drew the start against the Blazers but only because Gobert was on French time or something. He still played 33 minutes and had 29.4 fantasy points. And I love this matchup for him. He had 37.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Nov. 3. His versatility will keep him in the game against the Nuggets high pace offense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
