High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Josh Jackson (at ATL – $5,800): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28 fantasy points against Cleveland. As long as the minutes have been there for Jackson, he’s been able to produce. And on most nights, the minutes have been there for them. I still don’t like the Suns as a team but I continue to love this matchup and the Suns do have guys who can put up numbers in multiple categories. This should be a big DFS game for them. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Cedi Osman (vs MEM – $5,100): Needs 23.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.75 fantasy points against Phoenix. Cedi picked up where he left off prior to the break. The Grizzlies can be a tough matchup with their defense but that was a different Grizzlies squad. And thew Cavaliers are actually playing well. Granted, they’ve had some good matchup but the Grizzlies are a good matchup based on how they’ve looked this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Harrison Barnes (at OKC – $4,900): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.25 fantasy points against Golden State. Barnes continues to get the minutes as a member of the Kings, which is the good news. He’s still not playing great, but the opportunities are there for him. And he typically plays very well against the Thunder. He had 37.25 fantasy points against them on Dec. 31. He’s at a good salary based on his minutes and his success against this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
