High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Joe Ingles (vs BKN – $6,000): Needs 27.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. You typically know what you’re getting out of Ingles as he’s been over 33 fantasy points in four of his last five games. And he’s the only other reliable offensive option for Utah outside of Mitchell. The matchup is definitely a good one as the offense should be up for the Jazz in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Rudy Gay (vs POR – $5,700): Needs 26.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.25 fantasy points against New York. Don’t put much stock into the number against the Knicks. His minutes were down as the Knicks are the Knicks and the Spurs had no issue with him. Prior that, Gay had been over 3 fantasy points in three straight. The minutes are there and he had 34.25 fantasy points against the Blazers on Feb. 7. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at SA – $4,200): Needs 19.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.75 fantasy points against New Orleans. with Harkless out of the lineup, Aminu will have to continue to step up. He’s been way down but showed signs of life against the Pelicans due to the injury situation to Harkless. He’s played well against the Spurs this season, averaging 28.3 fantasy points in three games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
