High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Frank Kaminsky (vs ORL – $5,900): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.75 fantasy points against Cleveland. Yup, another member from the Hornets. Once again, this is a team with something to play for and that means there are more guarantees in this game. Kaminsky has been playing very well for them as of late and the minutes should definitely be there. I expect another solid outing from him. The Magic effort will determine his ceiling but he should be a reliable player if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (at PHI – $4,400): Needs 20.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16 fantasy points against New York. He may have been down against the Knicks but he’s still getting strong minutes and the Sixers aren’t exactly playing for anything right now. The opportunities are there for him and he’s at a great salary given the circumstances. Trust him to bounce back in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Gorgui Dieng (at DEN – $4,100): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.75 fantasy points against Toronto. Towns is out which means Dieng should continue to get big minutes. And he’s shown a high ceiling. The Nuggets have something to play for which means they will give effort. I haven’t mentioned the Nuggets because they’ll probably spread things around and don’t have too many consistent options. Dieng is at a great salary, given the minutes he should get and his overall production. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
