High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Derrick Favors (at MEM – $6,100): Needs 29.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.25 fantasy points against New Orleans. Aside from a down against the Pelicans, which he bounced back from, Favors is on a hell of a run right now. The Grizzlies can be tough but I love the way Favors is playing right now and even though the scoring might not be there like it was against the Pelicans, the rebounding will bounce back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Bobby Portis (at CHA – $5,900): Needs 28.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22 fantasy points against Dallas. Portis has been one of the biggest up-and-down players I’ve seen this season. He’s been up-and-down in his last eight games. He was down against the Mavericks, so he should be up in this one. He had 36.5 fantasy points against the Hornets on Feb 22. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Robin Lopez (vs DET – $5,200): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Lopez is now the best center in the league until further notice. The Pistons are playing well, but Lopez has been outstanding and someone has to get produce in the Bulls frontcourt after the trade. The minutes will obviously be there against Drummond and Griffin. There’s no reason to doubt him at this point. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
