Top Four PFs

  1. DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) – $11,400 vs. Bucks (30th)
  2. Anthony Davis (Pelicans) – $9,800 vs. Grizzlies (2nd)
  3. Paul Millsap (Hawks) – $8,200 vs. Mavericks (22nd)
  4. Kevin Love (Cavaliers) – $7,300 @ Pacers (20th)

Rationale:

  • Cousins is listed as questionable on Monday due to a left ankle sprain suffered against the Grizzlies on Sunday. If he can give it a go, he could explode against the league’s worst team versus power forwards.
  • Davis has gone off on the Grizzlies in two meetings, scoring 52.8 FPPG. He’s only shooting 37 percent against them, but it’s crashing the glass where he’ll find value. The Grizzlies are 24th in opponent rebounding percentage.
  • Millsap scored 50.3 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Mavericks. He grabbed 11 rebounds and distributed the ball nicely with five assists. The Mavs are 25th in opponents’ rebounding percentage, so he’s do for a strong game on the boards.
  • Love scored 56.3 fantasy points in his one game against the Pacers this season. He’s really been involved offensively, and in his last three games he’s scoring 23.7 points per game, leading to scoring 46.2 FPPG in that span.
  • It’s not often that the top four players are the top picks, but they have all had a good history against their competition on Monday or they are playing very well as of late.
