High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Will Barton (at GS – $5,900): Needs 27.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.5 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Barton was down against the Spurs and Pelicans but bounced back against the Lakers. He looks close to being himself and the matchup is certainly good with the way the Warriors defense has been playing lately. Barton should keep it going in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jonathan Isaac (vs DAL – $5,100): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Isaac still isn’t quite back into top form but I like this matchup for him and he’s at a very good salary given his usual production. The scoring and rebounds should be there for him on Friday. If nothing else, he should get value just based on the matchup and salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Luke Kennard (at CHI – $4,600): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.75 fantasy points against Minnesota. Kennard has been over 30 fantasy points in three straight and five of his last six. The Bulls are plenty better but they also aren’t very good. Meanwhile, the Pistons are playing their best basketball of the season and Kennard’s contributions off the bench have been a big reason why. I love his game and salary right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
