High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Willie Cauley-Stein (vs NO – $5,300): Needs 23.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.8 fantasy points against Cleveland. WCS. Has been all over the place in recent games but this is a good spot for him given the opponent on Saturday. He had 44.4 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Mar. 28 and 56.4 fantasy points against them on Dec. 23. The Pelicans are always a good matchup given their lack of great NBA talent. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mason Plumlee (at POR – $5,100): Needs 22.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.2 fantasy points against Portland. You typically know what you’re getting out of Plumlee because he plays a reliable game and he gets the minutes. And with Millsap and Jokic out of this game, Plumlee will get even more minutes and opportunities. This is a great spot for him with the Nuggets resting their top guys. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Aron Baynes (vs ORL – $4,800): Needs 21.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.2 fantasy points against Indiana. With no Al Horford, Baynes is seeing more minutes and anyone that has followed the Celtics this season knows that Baynes is the best player on the team. He’s at a great salary given the minutes he’s getting right now. As long as Horford remains out of the lineup, you can take Baynes with plenty of confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
