High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Brook Lopez (vs CHA – $5,400): Needs 26.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Indiana.Lopez has been up-and-down in recent contests but this is a good matchup for him to break the trend and remain up. The minutes and opportunities are always there for him, the Hornets don’t have much in their frontcourt and Charlotte is on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Cody Zeller (at MIL – $5,400): Needs 26.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.5 fantasy points against Washington. Zeller is back to being a reliable option because he gets minutes and along with Marvin Williams, is the only useful player in the Charlotte frontcourt. It’s a tough matchup, especially being on a back-to-back, but someone has to get these numbers for the Hornets and Zeller has been that guy. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Alex Len (vs BKN – $5,000): Needs 24.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Miami. Len is as consistent as they come but with Demdon out of the lineup and Len likely drawing the start, he’s in a. Good position to succeed. The matchup is very good and we known Len can put up huge numbers. I was torn between him and Jarrett Allen, who is slightly more reliable, but doesn’t have quite the same ceiling. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
