High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Pascal Siakam (at HOU – $6,200): Needs 26.7 fantasy points. Much like I love Ibaka at this position, I also love Siakam. You can pair these two and feel very confident in what you’re getting at the power forward position. Siakam should feast on the Rockets brutal frontcourt. Even with Faried in the lineup, Siakam is just a better player and I’m not buying too much into Faried just because he played well against the Knicks. The Raptors are a whole different animal. Literally. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jaren Jackson Jr (vs SAC – $6,000): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. Triple J hasn’t been great during this stretch but this is a proven matchup for him. He’s averaging 38.6 fantasy points in three games against the Kings this season. The Grizzlies are a wreck but Jackson should see big minutes and opportunities moving forward as the Grizzlies go with a youth movement. Diagnosis: Proven matchup and a high ceiling.

Marvin Bagley III (at MEM – $5,800): Needs 25 fantasy points. Bagley was in the starting lineup against the Raptors and he finished with 43.7 fantasy points. I’m going to assume that he’ll remain in the starting lineup and if he does, he should continue to contribute at the same level. The only issue for him in the second portion of this season has been minutes. But if he’s starting, you can take him confidence. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
