High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Draymond Green (vs PHI – $6,200): Needs 28.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.25 fantasy points against Boston. Draymond was rested against the Pacers and they still won by 32 points. Yup. His salary has dropped as DeMarcus Cousins will be taking some opportunities from him but he’ll also be in a good spot to overdeliver on the lesser salary. He still does a bit of everything and is always a triple-double threat because of it. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs MIL – $6,200): Needs 28.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Dallas. This has been a very good matchup for Siakam. He’s averaging 41.4 fantasy points in three games against the Bucks this season. He’s been a tad inconsistent over the last couple of weeks but on the whole he’s a reliable option and this is a proven matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Davis Bertans (vs BKN – $4,300): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.25 fantasy points against Phoenix. With DeRozan out of the lineup, this is Davis Bertans team now. Just learn to accept it. He’s getting more playing time and seeing more shots. And he’s always been a reliable shooter. He’s at a good price given his minutes and opportunities. I also love this game as a big DFS scorer. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
