Top Four PFs

  1. DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) – $10,700 vs. Pacers
  2. Anthony Davis (Pelicans) – $10,000 vs. Bucks
  3. Paul Millsap (Hawks) – $8,400 @ Suns
  4. Kristaps Porzingis (Knicks) – $7,300 @ Hornets

Rationale:

  • Cousins scored 51.5 fantasy points against the Pacers in their first meeting. He’s been on fire, too. He’s scoring 58.5 FPPG over his last 10 contests. Against a tired Pacers team, who rank 20th against power forwards, should lead to a monster game for Cousins.
  • Davis will take advantage of playing a tired Bucks team that is playing on a back-to-back. They are also third-worst versus power forwards. Expect Davis to have a big game, like he did against a tired Pistons team (49.25 fantasy points).
  • Millsap is playing very well, scoring 46.6 FPPG over his last six games. Playing against a Suns team that’s falling apart will help his case. He has his highest price tag in two weeks, but it should return value against the 19th team versus power forwards.
  • Porzingis is scoring 39.8 FPPG in two games against the Hornets. He has returned value in six of his last eight contests, and coming off of a dud performance on Friday should be motivated to play better. The Hornets are 23rd against power forwards.
