High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Ante Zizic (vs WAS – $6,500): Needs 29.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.3 fantasy points against Chicago. Nance Jr is back in the lineup but Zizic looks to be the top guy for the Cavaliers right now. And it’s not like the Wizards offer much in their frontcourt. Someone has to get those numbers for the Cavaliers frontcourt and Zizic is certainly the best option right now. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Brook Lopez (at DET – $5,700): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.8 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Lopez is a tad inconsistent because his value is starting to be tied to his shooting ability. But he gets great looks and will chip in with some rebounds. And he’s played very well against the Pistons this season. He’s reliable if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Thomas Bryant (at CLE – $5,500): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29 fantasy points against San Antonio. Bryant has been inconsistent but he remains in a good spot given that the Wizards need whatever they can get out of their frontcourt and Bryant has been their top option in this spot. It’s the Cavaliers and they are an easy team to bet against. And Bryant is at a good salary compared to the rest of the field. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
