High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Mason Plumlee (at PHI – $5,800): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.2 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Plumlee continues to start and it’s leading to some big numbers for him. His salary has jumped up there but it’s not matching the production he’s giving you right now. As long as he continues to start then you should continue to take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Brook Lopez (at DAL – $5,400): Needs 24 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22 fantasy points against Washington. Lopez is running a bit cold right now but the opportunities will continue to be there and I love the way the Bucks are playing right now. If Mirotic is in the lineup that will take away from opportunities from him but he’s chipping in with rebounds and assists. And the offense should have no problem against the Mavericks. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Mitchell Robinson (at DET – $4,600): Needs 20.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against Detroit. It looks like DeAndre Jordan will continue to be part of the Knicks as they won’t buy him out. But Robinson should continue to be part of the rotation as the Knicks will want to get him the minutes. He had a strong outing against the Pistons in his last game and as long as the minutes continue to be there, and they certainly should be there, he’ll be a reliable option. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
