Anthony Davis – $12,300 – The “Brow” is to fantasy owners as New Kids On The Block were to 8- to 13-year-old girls in the late ’80s. In other words, we love you, brow!

Pau Gasol – $8,900 – Milwaukee is no walk in the park when it comes to giving up fantasy points to power forwards, but they are not exactly a lock-down bunch either (41.5 fantasy points per on the season). We like Pau to return value rather than exceed cost by a substantial amount — a 45 is nothing to get bummed about.

Gordon Hayward – $8,300 – The Denver Nuggets give up the second-most fantasy points to opposing small forwards at 37.1 per game. The “3-spot” is not one of the more lucrative positions in fantasy basketball to want to pay up for, but when you compare Gordon’s usage rate (26.2), with the robust numbers the Nuggets give up, there is no reason not to cement Hayward in all lineups as a must-play.

Value Plays: Amir Johnson, Chandler Parsons, Wesley Johnson
