High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Trevor Ariza (at MIL – $5,700): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42 fantasy points against Atlanta. And it’s another member of the Wizards. Ariza could be showcasing himself one more time ahead of the deadline, not that he needs to showcase himself at this point. Ariza plays big minutes and does a bit of everything. And I expect nothing less from him in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Darius Miller (at CHI – $4,800): Needs 21.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25 fantasy points against Indiana. Miller has been playing very well for the Pelicans and once again, I love this matchup. Because even though the Pelicans have a lot of uncertainty around them with the trade deadline and their franchise player may be getting traded. At least they are playing hard. The Bulls just look lifeless on a lot of nights and aren’t all that good. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jae Crowder (vs PHO – $4,600): Needs 20.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.75 fantasy points against Houston. Crowder was inserted into the starting lineup against the Rockets. I don’t know if that was a matchup thing or the norm moving forward. Either way, Crowder typically plays solid minutes whether he’s the starter or coming off the bench. And it’s the Suns. You can always bet against the Suns. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
