High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Ivan Rabb (vs NO – $5,800): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.25 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Rabb will continue to get big minutes with Marc Gasol gone. Valanciunas might be in the lineup and that would take some opportunities away from Rabb. But my guess is that they will want to play the young guy a bit more than Valanciunas. And the minutes should be there in this matchup. I expect another strong outing for Rabb. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (vs WAS – $5,600): Needs 25.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Not the best of debuts for Porter but don’t be too concerned. He’s getting the minutes and opportunities and he remains at a good salary. And it’s a revenge game. And we’ve entered the revenge game portion of our slideshow. He’ll have a little something extra for his former team. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jabari Parker (at CHI – $4,800): Needs 21.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.75 fantasy points against Cleveland. Parker had an impressive debut against the Cavaliers. Granted, it was the Cavaliers. But it’s not like the Bulls are much better, especially after the trade of Portis. And Parker will have something extra for them due to how they treated him throughout the season. I expect a huge outing from Parker in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
