High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

DeMarcus Cousins (vs UTA – $6,200): Needs 28.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.25 fantasy points against Miami. Cousins crashed down a bit against the Heat but I’m not too worried. The Jazz don’t perform well in DFS against opposing centers, Cousins is starting to play more minutes and the Warriors continue to get him comfortable in the system. Trust him to bounce back in this one. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Ivan Rabb (vs SA – $5,600): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. Rabb continues to play well in the starting lineup for the Grizzlies although Noah is giving him a bit of a run for his money. He continues to get the minutes to produce and someone has to produce at this position. You can always go with Noah if you want to save money, but expecting him to turn back the clock so often is playing with fire. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Joakim Noah (vs SA – $4,000): Needs 18.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42 fantasy points against New Orleans. And yet, here we are with Noah. I don’t love the value center options on Tuesday and Noah has been getting solid playing time over the past couple of weeks. And he’s at a good enough salary to where he won’t hurt you too bad if he doesn’t quite reach value. Plus he’s shown a very high ceiling Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
