High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jabari Parker (at DET – $5,600): Needs 25.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.25 fantasy points against Chicago. Hey look, Jabari Parker is a good offensive player when you allow him to play offense. He still doesn’t play any defense, but who cares about defense in DFS? No one. Parker has been great for the Wizards and he’ll continue to get those opportunities because the Wizards have nothing to lose at this point. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Knox (at CLE – $5,000): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Knox broke out of his slump against the Raptors which is good news. The better news is that he gets to face the Cavaliers on Monday. It’s him and DSJ in New York right now and he’ll continue to get those opportunities in this lineup. And going up against the Cavaliers should mean big things for his value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jake Layman (at OKC – $4,200): Needs 19 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 11.25 fantasy points against Dallas. I’m torn between Layman and Aminu. Aminu typically plays very well against the Thunder but Layman has simply played better in recent contests. And white guys off the bench will always hurt the Thunder. I’m leaning towards Layman based on recent play but Aminu has the higher ceiling of the two. Don’t let the Dallas game scare you off of him. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
