High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Mason Plumlee (at UTA – $5,000): Needs 22.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.2 fantasy points against Portland. Jokic should be back for this game but this is a good matchup for Plumlee because of the size the Jazz can throw at him. And he’s at a good salary given the minutes and production he usually gets you. He had 34.8 fantasy points against the Jazz on Feb. 28 in just 22 minutes. He’s a reliable option if nothing else in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Salah Mejri (vs PHO – $4,800): Needs 21.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.3 fantasy points against Memphis. Mejri has been very good for the Mavericks as of late and wouldn’t you know it, it’s another player from this game. The minutes are the only concern right now but the minutes are there for him and he’s up against the Suns. He should have no issue getting his numbers in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jahlil Okafor (vs GS – $4,200): Needs 18.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.3 fantasy points against Sacramento. As long as Okafor gets the minutes, he should continue to deliver. And with the Pelicans potentially missing Randle, it should lead to more minutes for Okafor. The Warriors can be a tough matchup and the Cousins is going to try to punk him, but he’s at a good salary and has shown a high ceiling when he’s gotten the minutes. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
