Top Four PFs

  1. DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) – $10,600 vs. Clippers (7th)
  2. Paul Millsap (Hawks) – $7,800 vs. Bulls (13th)
  3. Zach Randolph (Grizzlies) – $7,100 @ Lakers (15th)
  4. Myles Turner (Pacers) – $6,000 vs. Hornets (23rd)

Rationale:

  • Cousins is scoring 42.9 FPPG in three games against the Clippers this season. The Clippers are 26th in rebounding percentage, which bodes well for his fantasy value. He’s projected to score 53.5 fantasy points.
  • Millsap is scoring 37.8 FPPG in two contests with the Bulls this season. He shoots 7.6 percentage points better from three-point range at home than on the road, which is encouraging since he’s 1-for-5 from range this season against the Bulls. He’s projected to score 42.2 fantasy points.
  • Randolph is scoring 26.0 FPPG in two meetings with the Lakers this season. He’s averaging two fewer rebounds per game against the Lakers than his season average, which should improve against the second-worst team in rebounding percentage. He’s projected to score 33.8 fantasy points.
  • Turner scored 15.8 fantasy points against the Hornets in their first meeting this season. He shot 36.4 percent in that game. He has scored 30-plus fantasy points in three of his four games since the All-Star break. He’s projected to score 27.9 fantasy points.
