High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Kelly Olynyk (at MIL – $5,400): Needs 25.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.5 fantasy points against San Antonio. With Adebayo listed as questionable, I’m going to assume Olynyk will get most of those minutes and opportunities. If Adebayo ends up playing, I like him much more than Olynyk and the salary is similar. But with Adebayo out, Olynyk’s stock goes up. The matchup can be tough but the Bucks are a different team without Giannis. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jerami Grant (at TOR – $5,300): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Grant has played very well in the last two games and the Thunder need something from anyone right now, especially with Steven Adams looking out of it. Grant is a guy who can step up and the minutes and opportunities are always there for him. I’ll trust him to keep it going. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Kevin Knox (vs DEN – $4,800): Needs 22.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44 fantasy points against Utah. I’m going to trust Kevin Knox and the Knicks. I don’t want to trust Kevin Knox and the Knicks, but I’m going to do it. The Nuggets are on a back-to-back but the matchup doesn’t really matter. It’s more about the minutes. And trusting the Knicks to actually give Knox minutes. If he gets minutes, he’ll deliver. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
