High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Frank Kaminsky (at CLE – $5,400): Needs 25.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Detroit. The Hornets need something out of their frontcourt and Kaminsky has been providing them with plenty of production at the moment. This is a big game for the Hornets to stay alive and they are up against the Cavaliers. Kaminsky should continue to put up strong numbers given his minutes and production. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Dragan Bender (at DAL – $4,900): Needs 23.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.5 fantasy points against Houston. I’ve had plenty of people from this matchup because I love this matchup. Defense won’t be played in this game and there’s a lot of good talent at very good prices. Bender has been great in place of Ayton and he should continue to step it up in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Luke Kornet (at CHI – $4,600): Needs 21.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.75 fantasy points against Washington. The Knicks are weird with their minutes but as long as Kornet is getting the minutes, he’s going to deliver in this matchup. The Bulls are an easy matchup for any team right now with their lack of frontcourt players. And Kornet has proven to have a high ceiling. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
