Top Four PFs

  1. DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) – $10,500 @ Clippers
  2. Draymond Green (Warriors) – $9,800 @ Pistons
  3. Zach Randolph (Grizzlies) – $6,500 vs. Knicks
  4. Jabari Parker (Bucks) – $5,000 @ Hornets

Rationale:

  • Cousins is only averaging 40.5 fantasy points against the Clippers. He’s red-hot though, scoring 60.7 FPPG in his last six contests. Cousins should be a slam dunk if both Griffin and Jordan are out for the Clippers, who rank sixth against power forwards.
  • Green returns to Michigan, where he went to school at Michigan State. He scored 43.5 fantasy points against the Pistons in their first meeting. He had needed rest on Wednesday against the Nuggets before playing against the Lakers on Thursday, according to Yahoo Sports‘ Dan Devine. Detroit is fifth against power forwards.
  • Randolph returned to the starting lineup Thursday against the Pistons. As a double-double threat each night out, Randolph should have a good game against the Knicks, who are second-worst against power forwards.
  • Parker’s playing well since his minutes increase. He’s scoring 25.4 FPPG in his last nine games. His value at $5,000 is strong, considering he’s playing the 20th team against power forwards.
