High Value Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Zach Collins (at GS – $5,600): Needs 25 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.75 fantasy points against Denver. Collins made a name for himself by the end of the Denver series and I suspect he will continue to get good minutes in this series simply because I don’t think Enes Kanter will be able to stay on the floor. Especially the Warriors without Durant, where the ball moves a lot more. Kanter has a higher ceiling if you’re willing to take the risk. But Collins is more reliable. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Kevon Looney (vs POR – $3,600): Needs 16.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Houston. Looney played great with Durant down in the series and I expect more of the same from him in this one. He’s a reliable option on the Warriors and I love him as a low-cost captains pick because he’ll save you money at the spot and he will get guaranteed numbers due to his role on the team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Moe Harkless (at GS – $4,000): Needs 18 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.75 fantasy points against Denver. Harkless saw his minutes drop as the Denver series went along, which is concerning. If he gets the minutes, he will contribute without a doubt in this game. And the injury to Hood should see him get more minutes. Once again, I also like Evan Turner in this spot if Hood doesn’t end up playing. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
