High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kelly Olynyk (vs CLE – $5,800): Needs 28 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.75 fantasy points against Charlotte. Olynyk bounced back in a big way against the Hornets. And now he has a great matchup against the Cavaliers. He’s been good more often than not in the last couple of weeks. The scoring and rebounding should be there without a problem and Olynyk knows how to ramp up for the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Trevor Ariza (at CHA – $5,800): Needs 27.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against Dallas. Ariza continues to give give reliable production at a good salary. He didn’t play well against the Hornets on Feb. 22, scoring just 23.75 fantasy points, but he’ll be better in this one. The Hornets are still a good matchup given their pace and defense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jae Crowder (at MEM – $4,800): Needs 22.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26 fantasy points against New Orleans. Crowder keeps giving solid production at a good price. The minutes are there and this feels like a good game for him because the Grizzlies can grind things up still. And Crowder is a guy who plays best when the game is slowed down a bit. At this salary, he’ll give you value if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
