Top Four PFs

  1. LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs) – $7,100 vs. Rockets (19th)
  2. Serge Ibaka (Thunder) – $5,700 @ Timberwolves (17th)
  3. Ersan Ilyasova (Pistons) – $5,500 vs. 76ers (29th)
  4. Marvin Williams (Hornets) – $5,100 @ Jazz (8th)

Rationale:

  • Aldridge didn’t show up in his showdown with the Warriors, causing him to delete his Twitter account. But he should bounce back against the Rockets, who he’s had success against. Aldridge is scoring 35.3 FPPG in two meetings this season.
  • Ibaka is scoring 28.9 FPPG in two meetings with the Timberwolves. His consistency to hit high-percentage shots and knock down three-pointers on the road makes him a good play.
  • Ilyasova had 37.5 fantasy points against the 76ers in their first meeting. His ability to stretch the floor and crash the glass provide DraftKings players good value on a weak night for power forwards.
  • Williams scored 31.8 fantasy points previously against the Jazz. He’s been inconsistent in his last four games, following a bad game with a good game. Perhaps he will string together a second good game against the Jazz.
