Top Four PFs

  1. Paul Millsap (Hawks) – $8,200 @ Trail Blazers
  2. Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks) – $6,700 vs. Timberwolves
  3. Serge Ibaka (Thunder) – $6,000 vs. Hornets
  4. Trey Lyles (Jazz) – $5,000 @ Knicks

Rationale:

  • Millsap only scored 22 fantasy points in 24 minutes against Portland earlier this season. He should play more minutes and score more points, grab more rebounds and facilitate more. He plays against the 26th team versus power forwards.
  • Nowitzki torched the Wolves for 43.3 fantasy points against Minnesota this year. He’s averaging 35.8 FPPG in his last eight games. He should be poised to have a good game against the 14th team against power forwards.
  • Ibaka scored 26.8 fantasy points while shooting 25 percent against the Hornets in their first meeting. He’s scoring 34.4 FPPG in his last three games. Riding the hot spell against the 23rd team versus power forwards should bode well for Ibaka.
  • Lyles scored 19.5 fantasy points against the Knicks in their last meeting. He’s averaging 29.3 FPPG in his last three games. With a cheap price tag, Lyles is a strong play against the second-worst team versus power forwards.
