High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (at CHI – $6,900): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.3 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Harris has been right around value in the last two games. If Embiid doesn’t end up playing in this game, that will help Embiid’s value. What should really help his value is that he’s up against the Bulls. The points and rebounds should be there without an issue for him in this game. His ceiling goes up if Embiid doesn’t play. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jonah Bolden (at CHI – $5,000): Needs 21.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 14.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Bolden was down against the Bucks because because Embiid was back. But if Embiid doesn’t play in this game, he should be able to bounce back. His minutes will go back up and it’s a great matchup because the Bulls are the Bulls. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Mike Scott (at CHI – $4,400): Needs 18.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.1 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Scott was moved into the starting lineup and played well. He could remain a starter if the injuries are still there for the Sixers. If he doesn’t start, he’s a less reliable option because the minutes aren’t guaranteed. But if he starts, you can take him with confidence given the circumstances and matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
