Top Four PFs

  1. DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) – $11,000 vs. Nuggets (20th)
  2. LaMarcus Aldridge (Spurs) – $6,900 @ Lakers (14th)
  3. Kristaps Porzingis (Knicks) – $7,300 @ Nets (28th)
  4. Amar’e Stoudemire (Heat) – $4,200 @ Hawks (25th)

Rationale:

  • Cousins has not played against the Nuggets this season. Denver is 21st in scoring and are 22nd in opponent field goal percentage. Rebounding will be a challenge with the Nuggets’ frontcourt, but Cousins is projected to score 52.9 fantasy points.
  • Aldridge is scoring 41.3 FPPG in his first two games against the Lakers this season. The Lakers are 27th in opponent points per game and opponent field goal percentage. They are also 27th in rebounding percentage. He is projected to score 34.7 fantasy points.
  • Porzingis is scoring 39.8 FPPG against the Nets this season in two meetings this season. The Nets are 28th in opponent field goal percentage and 18th in rebounding percentage. Porzingis excelled in the rebounding department against Brooklyn this season. He is projected to score 33.0 fantasy points.
  • Stoudemire scored 36.5 fantasy points against the Hawks in their first meeting. He will start for the injured Hassan Whiteside on Friday and comes at a bargain price tag. He’s projected to score 27.1 fantasy points.
