High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Enes Kanter (at CHI – $6,500): Needs 28.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. No Jusuf Nurkic will likely mean a lot of Enes Kanter. He can’t play defense but they’ll need his offensive ability and he can still put up plenty of points and rebounds. And the defense shouldn’t be too much of an issue against a team like the Bulls. Kanter will get his numbers as long as he gets the minutes, which he should. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Steven Adams (vs IND – $6,300): Needs 27.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.6 fantasy points against Memphis. Adams isn’t playing great right now but he’s doing enough right now. The minutes are there and he always puts up some decent numbers. He had 24.1 fantasy points against the Pacers on Mar. 14, which isn’t great. But again, the minutes and opportunities are there. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a decent ceiling.

Robin Lopez (vs POR – $5,200): Needs 22.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.3 fantasy points against Toronto. Felicio is getting some minutes right now, which has cut into the value of Lopez. You can take your shot with him if you’d like. But the matchup is good either way simply because they’ll be up against Kanter. And they should abuse him in the pick-and-roll. Maybe. Who knows with the Bulls. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
