BOSTON, MA – MARCH 31: Serge Ibaka
BOSTON, MA – MARCH 31: Serge Ibaka /

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Serge Ibaka (vs ORL – $5,700): Needs 24.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.4 fantasy points against Chicago. Ibaka is back in the starting lineup and playing more minutes. Will it continue? Who knows. The Raptors can be all over the place with their lineups but Ibaka looks to be back into a nice rhythm. And even in limited minutes, he can produce for the Raptors against this matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Dragan Bender (vs CLE – $5,000): Needs 21.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.8 fantasy points against Memphis. Bender has been playing well in his last two games but who knows what you’re going to get out of the Suns. They only seem to care about Devin Booker’s scoring right now but Bender can get rebounds and chip in with defense. And it’s the Cavaliers. I’m going to trust Bender in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Luke Kornet (vs CHI – $4,800): Needs 20.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.1 fantasy points against Miami. Kornet was in the starting lineup for the Knicks in the last game and maybe that means he’ll continue to play big minutes in the starting lineup? Who knows with the Knicks. The Knicks are weird. But they have a great matchup and if Kornet does start, he should have no problem getting his numbers in this game. But again, who the hell knows with the Knicks. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.
