High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jakarr Sampson (vs NY – $6,100): Needs 27.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Sampson continues to get big minutes for the Bulls and they need something from someone in this spot. And he’s certainly been the guy who has been delivering. And now he’s up against the Knicks. Given the minutes he’s getting and the opponent, he should be in for another big night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Mario Hezonja (at CHI – $5,700): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48 fantasy points against Washington. We must accept Super Mario as the Lord and Savior of the NBA. He’s been amazing in the last week and really, he’s always been amazing, he’s now just getting the minutes to prove himself. And now he’s getting the Bulls. There is no reason Mario shouldn’t be in for another strong night in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Justise Winslow (vs PHI – $5,700): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.75 fantasy points against Toronto. Winslow continues to step up for Miami with all their injuries. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in four of his last five. He’s been hit-and-miss against the Sixers this season but the Sixers defense isn’t great right now and Miami is on their last stand. Winslow can raise his game again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
