Top Four PFs

  1. Chris Bosh (Heat) – $7,700 @ Bucks (30th)
  2. Thaddeus Young (Nets) – $6,300 @ Mavericks (22nd)
  3. Julius Randle (Lakers) – $5,900 @ Clippers (8th)
  4. Serge Ibaka (Thunder) – $5,700 vs. Rockets (20th)

Rationale:

  • Bosh only scored 33.8 fantasy points against the Bucks in their first meeting due to a rebounding slight. He’s hitting value lately, scoring 35.9 FPPG in his last three contests. That matches his season average, and he should have a better showing against the Bucks.
  • Young torched the Mavericks with a 55.5-fantasy point performance in their first meeting, despite going 0-for-5 from the free-throw line. He should have another strong game with a favorable matchup.
  • Randle scored 29 fantasy points previously against the Clippers, despite shooting 3-for-11 from the field. He’s playing well lately, scoring 30.2 FPPG in his last five games.
  • Ibaka had a strong showing with 43.5 fantasy points against the Rockets in their first contest. He went to work on the boards with 14 rebounds, and defensively with four blocks and a steal. He’s a slightly better shooter at home, though his defense will be key in having a big night.
