High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kevin Knox (vs MEM – $5,500): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against Boston. Even if the new Knicks players suit up for this one, Knox is the one guy I’m fairly confident in. The minutes and opportunities will continue to be there and he’s at a nice salary. And the only guy who is really going to take away from him in DSJ. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Gordon Hayward (vs OKC – $4,900): Needs 22.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.75 fantasy points against New York. Hayward has played well in recent games even though the minutes aren’t always there for him. He can go cold at any moment and this is a tough matchup but I’m going to trust that he can get at least value given his salary and usual opportunities. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Damyean Dotson (vs MEM – $4,000): Needs 18.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.5 fantasy points against Boston. Once again, take whomever is starting for the Knicks. If it’s Dotson, take him. If Wesley Matthews is in the lineup, then take him. There is just so much uncertainty with the Knicks right now as I don’t know what their lineup is going to look like. But grab the guys who are starting. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling if he starts.
