High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Draymond Green (at ORL – $6,000): Needs 28.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 13.75 fantasy points against Miami. Draymond is pretty much in line with every other Warrior. The guys around him make it easy for him to get fantasy points. And he’s a guy who can do a bit of everything on most nights. The pace should be up in this one and Draymond is the only value player in the Warriors starting lineup, which makes him more desirable. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kelly Olynyk (at HOU – $4,900): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Olynyk starts and gets the minutes on most nights, which is typically a good sign for his value. And with Whiteside potentially being out, he should get more opportunities. It’s a tough matchup with Miami traveling on the back-to-back but the circumstances are good with Whiteside being out and the Rockets still having frontcourt woes. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Nerlens Noel (vs PHI – $3,900): Needs 18.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.5 fantasy points against Denver. With the Sixers issues at center and Nerlens Noel being in the best position of his career to finally get revenge on the Process, I have high hopes for him in this game. He typically gets the minutes and always makes use of those minutes. And he’s earned more reliable playing time as the season has gone on. It’s a slight gut feeling but he won’t hurt you at this salary. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
