High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Nicolas Batum (at MIL – $6,100): Needs 25.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.1 fantasy points against Washington. Batum is coming off a strong performance on Friday and even though this is a back-to-back, he’s been playing very well recently. The minutes are always there and his ceiling is high because he can do a bit of everything. He had 29.7 fantasy points against the Bucks on Jan. 25. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jabari Parker (at MIN – $5,800): Needs 24.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24 fantasy points against Charlotte. Parker has been more good than bad as a member of the Wizards and once again, this is a good matchup despite the back-to-back. Plenty of points should be scored in this game because neither team believes in defense. And Parker is definitely a guy who can score and not play defense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Gordon Hayward (at LAL – $5,100): Needs 21.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.1 fantasy points against Sacramento. Hayward still isn’t back and is certainly inconsistent, but I’ve watched enough Lakers this year to know that their defense is abysmal. I’ve watched one Lakers game. All jokes aside, Hayward is playing fairly well, playing decent minutes and the Lakers just don’t have it. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
