High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Bruno Caboclo (at DET – $5,500): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against Dallas. Once again, someone has to get numbers for the Grizzlies and Bruno has proven to be the best player in the league outside of Super Mario. He’s at a great salary given his minutes and opportunities and he’s up against a Pistons team that it all over the place right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Knox (at CHI – $5,500): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.75 fantasy points against Washington. Knox has been over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games. The minutes have typically been there for him and he’s playing well right now. And he’s up against the Bulls. It’s pretty easy to deliver against the Bulls and given that the offense should be up in this game, I fully expect Knox to deliver once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at LAL – $4,900): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.25 fantasy points against Denver. Aminu had his usual big outing against Denver and even though he was down in the games prior to that, it should be a nice confidence boost for him. And he’s up against the Lakers. And if Harkless isn’t going to play in this game, it should certainly help Aminu get his. Numbers even more. The Blazers need something and Aminu can provide just that. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
