Top Four PFs

  1. Thaddeus Young (Nets) – $6,900 @ Nuggets (24th)
  2. Julius Randle (Lakers) – $5,900 vs. Hawks (25th)
  3. Gorgui Dieng (Timberwolves) – $6,600 @ Bucks (29th)
  4. Myles Turner (Pacers) – $5,400 @ Hornets (21st)

Rationale:

  • Young scored 38.3 fantasy points against the Nuggets in their first meeting this season. Scoring was the key in that game with 20 points on 60 percent shooting. He needs to score to efficiently against the 21st ranked team in opponent field goal percentage. He’s projected to score 34.9 fantasy points.
  • Randle scored 21.8 fantasy points against the Hawks in their first meeting this season. He scored nine points and shot 25 percent. The area that hurt him most was rebounding, where he only had five, despite averaging 10 per game this season. That will be key against the Hawks, who are 29th in rebounding percentage. Randle is projected to score 32.4 fantasy points.
  • Dieng scored 14.5 fantasy points in his first game against the Bucks this season. He only took five shots and had six rebounds with no assists, steals or blocks. He also had four turnovers that hurt his fantasy value. He’s projected to score 31.7 fantasy points.
  • Turner is scoring 17.1 FPPG in two meetings with the Hornets this season. He has scored and grabbed rebounds against Charlotte, but hasn’t added extra value with assists, blocks or steals yet in the season series. He’s projected to score 26.2 fantasy points.
