High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Rudy Gay (vs PHO – $5,900): Needs 26.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26 fantasy points against Washington. Once again, it’s the Suns. With DeRozan out of the lineup, Gay will have to continue to up his game a bit more. Not so much in this game because even a sleepwalking Spurs squad should beat the Suns at home. Gay will get his usual numbers and a bit more in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Jerami Grant (at ORL – $5,300): Needs 23.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Grant continues to play great for the Thunder this season and the minutes are never an issue for him. He’s another guy who just makes plays and does a bit of everything on most nights. If the Thunder are going to break this Orlando curse, Grant’s length should be a reason why. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Richaun Holmes (at SA – $4,700): Needs 21.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.5 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Holmes returned to the lineup and he’s going to get the big minutes moving forward until Ayton returns to the lineup. Ayton looks to be out in this one so you can take Holmes with confidence given the circumstances. He’s a better option than Bender given that his minutes are more guaranteed at this point. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
