High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Steven Adams (vs IND – $5,400): Needs 25.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.5 fantasy points against Memphis. You sort of know what you’re getting out of Adams right now and even though it’s not much, it’s better than nothing. He’s turned into a reliable option and always gets the minutes and opportunities. He had 26.5 fantasy points against the Pacers on Mar. 14. Even though he’s not playing well, he’s still good for value. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Enes Kanter (at CHI – $5,000): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. No Nurkic should mean more Kanter. He might not start, but he should get more minutes simply because the Blazers need a center right now and Kanter, despite being incapable of playing defense, still gets rebounds and points. And the Blazers will need that moving forward. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Robin Lopez (vs POR – $4,900): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Lopez is now splitting time with Felicio, which has hurt his value. The matchup is great because Lopez will be up against Kanter and his lack of defense. And the minutes are still there enough, though you’d like to see a bit more from him. The salary and matchup are good if nothing else. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
