High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jayson Tatum (vs OKC – $5,700): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.25 fantasy points against New York. Tatum’s value goes down with Kyrie in the lineup but the minutes and opportunities are still there for him. He had 34.5 fantasy points against the Thunder on Oct. 25 and just seems to play well against them. He’s at a good enough salary given his minutes and opportunities. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Jerami Grant (at BOS – $5,600): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.25 fantasy points against Miami. It was a rough outing for Grant against the Heat but I’m not concerned. It was a blowout and he just didn’t play well, which happens. This game will be closer and Grant will continue to get big minutes and opportunities. He does a bit of everything and you can expect him to deliver a bounce back performance in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Marcus Morris (vs OKC – $4,900): Needs 23 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.75 fantasy points against New York. I love Morris in this game. Not only is he playing well but he had 37.5 fantasy points against the Thunder on Oct. 25 and never seems to miss against them. I like him more than Tatum if you’re trying to decide between the two and he’s even a stronger option than Grant given the salary. Though his minutes aren’t quite as guaranteed. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
