High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Brook Lopez (at PHO – $5,500): Needs 26.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.5 fantasy points against Utah. Lakers game aside, Lopez has been fantastic during this recent run for the Bucks. And now he gets the Suns. The points and rebounds will be there for him without a question and he’s become a shot blocking machine. Probably not a good sign for Devin Booker or Deandre Ayton. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Ivica Zubac (at LAL – $4,600): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.75 fantasy points against New York. It’s a ZUBAC REVENGE GAME! He’s been playing well for the Clippers and now gets his former team. And his former team is not very good, especially with how they’re playing in the frontcourt. The Clippers will probably feature Zubac a bit more because that’s what teams do for guys going up against their old team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Alex Len (at MIA – $4,000): Needs 19.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.5 fantasy points against Chicago. Len is rolling for the Hawks right now and if John Collins remains out of the lineup, you have to figure he’ll continue to get plenty of minutes and opportunities. I also like Jakob Poeltl in this spot if you want to spend an extra $100. We’ve just seen this dance too many times from Len to fully trust him. Meanwhile, Poeltl will play a big role against Jokic. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
