High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Marvin Bagley III (at OKC – $6,100): Needs 28.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.5 fantasy points against Golden State. MB3 looked more like himself after the break. And he had a big game against the Thunder earlier this season, posting 40.75 fantasy points. That was his real breakout game and now he gets the Thunder on a back-to-back. The pace will be up and MB3 should get plenty of rebounds and points in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Thaddeus Young (at WAS – $5,800): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. Young did well against a good matchup on Friday and now he has an easier matchup against the Wizards on Saturday. The minutes and opportunities will continue to be there for him. You can pair him with Sabonis if you want and treat them like Siakam/Ibaka where you’ll get reliable production and a good chance one has a big game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Nikola Mirotic (vs MIN – $5,600): Needs 26.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 12.75 fantasy points against Boston. Mirotic didn’t play many minutes in his Pelicans debut but his minutes are going to tick up in a big way moving forward and the shooting opportunities will continue to be there for him. This is a great matchup for the Bucks to integrate Mirotic into the lineup as the Timberwolves aren’t very good and are on a back-to-back. This could be a big break out game for Mirotic. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
