High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Ivan Rabb (at CLE – $5,900): Needs 27.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against LA Clippers. You can also go with Joakim Noah in this spot. Both guys should continue to get strong minutes, especially with the injury to Triple J. Noah will save you money but his minutes aren’t quite as guaranteed as Rabb. And Rabb might have the slightly higher ceiling overall. And it’s the Cavaliers. They are playing well. But they are the Cavaliers. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Cody Zeller (vs BKN – $5,300): Needs 25.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.75 fantasy points against Washington. You know what you getting from Zeller on most nights. He’s been a reliable option for the majority of the season and continues to get strong minutes because the Hornets are hurting in the frontcourt. He does a bit of everything and I like the matchup as the points should be flowing in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jarrett Allen (at CHA – $4,900): Needs 23.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.75 fantasy points against Portland. I love Allen in this spot. The minutes are typically there and I love this matchup because I’m not a big fan of the Hornets frontcourt or defense. Plus, they are on a back-to-back. Allen typically gets the minutes and is always a double-double threat who can chip in with defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
