High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jerami Grant (vs PHI – $5,800): Needs 25.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.5 fantasy points against Denver. Grant can be a bit inconsistent but he never lacks for minutes and he can do a bit of everything on most nights. With the Sixers lacking strong rim protection, Grant should be in for a big game as he plays above the rim. And he’s got a little bit of Process revenge in him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kelly Olynyk (at HOU – $5,500): Needs 24.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against Golden State. With Whiteside out of the lineup, Olynyk will continue to see more minutes and opportunities. He’s coming off a good game against the Warriors and he can do a bit of everything. This should be a competitive game because the Rockets don’t seem to pull away from most teams and the Heat are trying to make a playoff push. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

PJ Tucker (vs MIA – $5,100): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.4 fantasy points against Charlotte. You typically know what you’re getting from Tucker. The minutes and opportunities are always there. And the Heat frontcourt is weaker with Whiteside out of the lineup. Aside from a rough game against the Lakers, Tucker has been a steady hand recently and while this game might be a slog, that’s the kind of game Tucker lives for. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
