High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Harrison Barnes (at GS – $5,800): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.2 fantasy points against Denver. Barnes finally found his rhythm on the Kings against the Nuggets, although I’m not sure Harrison Barnes taking more shots is the best idea. But I know that he plays well against the Warriors and he’s fitting in nicely with the Kings, becoming more than just a scorer. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Joe Harris (vs POR – $5,500): Needs 23.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.8 fantasy points against Cleveland. Harris was shooting hot going into the break, shot hot during the break and will continue to shoot hot coming out of the break. The last part is just a guess based on my expert knowledge. It’s always possible that the 3-point contest broke his shot, which is a thing that can happen. But I trust Harris and the shows will be there. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Cedi Osman (vs PHO – $4,800): Needs 20.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Cedi is still working himself back into a rhythm coming off the injury but there were good signs against the Nets. And if the Cavaliers are getting healthy, that’ll make his job easier. He’s a guy who should continue to get playing time unlike say, Larry Nance Jr. And it’s the Suns. As long as Osman plays 25 minutes, he’ll get you value if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
