High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Justise Winslow (vs OKC – $5,800): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32 fantasy points against Chicago. Forget Tatum, I’m not sure how Richardson is at a higher salary than his teammate Winslow. Winslow has been the better option of the two in recent games and has shown a higher ceiling recently. I’m still not a fan of this matchup for the Heat but Winslow should get you value if nothing else. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kevin Knox (vs BOS – $5,700): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.25 fantasy points against Dallas. I don’t know much about what the Knicks are doing but I do know that Knox is going to start and get big minutes. The matchup is tough but Knox is going to be given every opportunity in this game with the Knicks being shorthanded. He has a chance to step up in a big way and I trust them to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

PJ Tucker (at DEN – $4,600): Needs 20.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.25 fantasy points against New Orleans. Tucker looked more like himself against the Pelicans and now he enters into a tough matchup against the Nuggets. But Tucker typically thrives in these tough matchups and they will need his defense against the Nuggets offense. He’s at a good salary given the minutes he gets. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
