High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

JJ Redick (vs CLE – $5,500): Needs 23.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.7 fantasy points against Indiana. Reddick isn’t playing well right now but the minutes and opportunities continue to be there for him. And he has to break out of his shooting slump at some point, right? He’s too good of a shooter to keep missing with the looks he has, especially with Embiid back in the lineup. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Nikola Mirotic (at NO – $5,200): Needs 22 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 15.3 fantasy points against San Antonio. Speaking of guys who can’t buy a shot right now. Mirotic isn’t getting the opportunities of Redick but he’s still getting his shots and maybe he’ll find comfort in New Orleans. It’s a sort of revenge game and I’m always a fan of revenge games. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Maurice Harkless (at LAC – $5,200): Needs 22 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.4 fantasy points against Phoenix. Harkless continues to get big minutes and does a bit of everything for the Blazers. They will need a role player to step up in this game and Harkless is my pick as that role player to step up. He’s more reliable that Mirotic but his ceiling isn’t quite as high if Mirotic gets rolling. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
