High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Bojan Bogdanovic (vs CHI – $5,600): Needs 26 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.75 fantasy points against Orlando. I probably haven’t mentioned the Pacers enough even though I love them for DFS. They just have a lot of reliable players who are all at good salaries. And now they get the Bulls. This should be an easy night at the office for just about everyone on the Pacers, and for some reason, some of their salaries have actually dropped. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

JJ Redick (vs ORL – $4,800): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 10.25 fantasy points against Golden State. Redick didn’t play well against the Warriors and he’s dipped overall without Embiid in the lineup. But the shots are still there and this is a matchup he always plays well against. He’s averaging 35.6 fantasy points in his last five games against the Magic. Trust him to bounce back with this matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Moe Harkless (at MEM – $4,000): Needs 18.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.5 fantasy points against Charlotte. Harkless continues to play outstanding basketball for the Blazers. He gets plenty of minutes in the starting lineup and remains t a great salary given his usual production. Even when the scoring isn’t there, the rebounds are there, he’ll pick up some assists, and he’s boosting his value with defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
