High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Kyle Kuzma (vs HOU – $6,600): Needs 28.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Atlanta. Kuzma has played very well against the Rockets this season as the Lakers need his shooting to keep pace with the Rockets. It’s why I’m also not opposed to Reggie Bullock, who I didn’t mention earlier, but am mentioning now for those loyal ones. I still like Kuzma’s fit next to LeBron and expect him to have a strong final quarter of the season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Josh Jackson (at CLE – $5,800): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 7.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Jackson didn’t play much against the Clippers but should be back into the swing of things following the break. He had been logging over 30 minutes a night and producing some big games for the Suns. And now he gets the Cavaliers. Expect him to return to form in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Marquese Chriss (vs PHO – $4,700): Needs 20.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.9 fantasy points against Brooklyn. If Thompson and Love play, I do worry that Chriss will be out of the rotation. But he’s shown that he can produce solid outings if given the minutes and he’s at a good salary. He’s a slight risk but it’s the Suns and a revenge game for Chriss after they gave up on in him in the offseason. Diagnosis: Slightly inconsistent with a high ceiling.
