Best Bargains

Allen Crabbe ($4,100) had a 17-point performance against the Hornets in his first meeting. That netted him a 23-fantasy point performance and a spot in the best bargains list for Friday. He’s had big games against weak teams versus shooting guards, such as his 36-fantasy point performance against the Nets. Against the third-worst team against shooting guards, Crabbe should have a good showing.

Aaron Gordon ($4,900) had a strong showing the Celtics in their first meeting, scoring 24.3 fantasy points. He is an athletic player that uses his athleticism to crash the boards. The key for Gordon will be his scoring, which he has done well in his last three games. During that span, he’s scoring 9.7 points per game which has yielded 24.6 FPPG in those three games. Boston is 23rd versus power forwards.

Players To Sit

Kemba Walker ($8,700) only scored 30.5 fantasy points in the first game against the Trail Blazers. In his recent high-scoring games, he’s taken a lot of shots and has hit around 50 percent of those shots. If he isn’t making his shots, he’s getting to the free throw line. He hasn’t shot the three-ball well in his last four games, hitting less than 33 percent in each game. The consistency is a major factor to not drafting Walker.

Kevin Durant ($10,100) only scored 37.5 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Rockets this season. In that game he only had four rebounds and didn’t have an assist. His inconsistencies in producing large fantasy numbers in his last five games is enough to stay away from Durant on Friday. He is playing against the worst team versus small forwards, so draft at your own risk.
