High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jerami Grant (at MIA – $5,800): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Orlando. Grant continues to play well for the Thunder and I love this matchup for him. Especially if Steven Adams is out of the lineup. Grant is afforded slightly more opportunities with Adams out of the lineup but even with Adams playing, Grant has turned into a reliable option, even at the higher salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Marcus Morris (at NY – $5,300): Needs 23.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.25 fantasy points against Charlotte. The only concern here is a blowout but the more I talk myself into a blowout, the more I think that it’s possible the Knicks come out with something to prove and actually play well. Just kidding. The Knicks are going to run out of the Garden and the boos will be out in full force. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Bruno Caboclo (at CHA – $3,400): Needs 15.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. Look, the Grizzlies are going through things and their rotation is all over the place right now. But Bruno is getting solid minutes and doing well in those minutes. I can’t make sense of the Grizzlies but if you’re looking for a punt option who is getting run and has a good matchup, Bruno is your guy. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a decent ceiling.
