High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Brook Lopez (vs BKN – $5,700): Needs 27.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Lopez has been right around value in for a couple of weeks now and that’s better than nothing. His salary has dropped, which helps and the minutes and opportunities are always there for him. He has 31.5 fantasy points against the Nets on April 1 and they remain a very good matchup for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Robin Lopez (vs PHI – $5,100): Needs 24.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.75 fantasy points against Washington.Lopez has been up-and-down but this is a very good matchup for him, especially if Embiid isn’t in the lineup. Lopez had 32.75 fantasy points against the Sixers on March 6. The Sixers defense still isn’t great and again, with no Embiid, Lopez will have an easier time. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jonah Bolden (at CHI – $4,900): Needs 23.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.5 fantasy points against Milwaukee. This is all about whether or not Embiid is going to play. If Embiid doesn’t play in this game, Bolden will draw the start and given the opponent, he should have no issue getting his numbers. He’s averaging 23.8 fantasy points in nine games as the starter this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
