High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Rudy Gay (vs BKN – $6,300): Needs 26.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.5 fantasy points against Phoenix. I continue to love his game with DeRozan out of the lineup. He’s a reliable scorer and he’ll chip in with rebounds and assists. The matchup is a good one and I have very little doubt about Gay’s game right now. He’s been delivering and until I see him slipping, I’ll trust him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jonathan Isaac (vs IND – $5,300): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.1 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Isaac is playing well for the Magic right now and I’ll trust him to keep it up. The minutes are there and he does well with his scoring and rebounding. The Magic is good with the Pacers being on a back-to-back. You can save $100 and grab Harris who might be more reliable but I like Isaac’s ceiling in this game. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Davis Bertans (vs BKN – $4,600): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.7 fantasy points against Phoenix. This is Davis Bertans league now. With DeRozan out of the lineup, Bertans is seeing more minutes and opportunities. He was in the starting lineup against the Suns and he should remain there given the state of 2019 Pau Gasol. I love him at this salary given his minutes and shooting chances. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
