High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Larry Nance Jr (at IND – $6,600): Needs 28.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.8 fantasy points against Washington. Once again, Nance Jr will have to be the guy to carry the load for the Cavaliers in their frontcourt. This is a tough matchup but someone has to get those points and rebounds for Cleveland and Nance is that guy at the moment. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Bobby Portis (at CHI – $6,500): Needs 28.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.2 fantasy points against Cleveland. It’s a revenge game for Portis and he made a strong debut against the Cavaliers. Granted, it was the Cavaliers. But it’s not like the Bulls are much better. And I love me a good revenge game. Portis should be in for a big night against his former team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jeff Green (at CHI – $6,000): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.6 fantasy points against Cleveland. Even with the new additions to the lineup, Green is still getting solid minutes and he’s continued to deliver. Plus, it’s the Bulls. You can pair Green and Portis and feel very good about your power forward spot while also saving a little bit of money. Green will deliver once again in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
