Point Guard
Deron Williams (DAL@MEM) $6,700
It might be possible that Deron has found himself, again! In the last two games he has scored at least 20 real points, six rebounds, and six assist. It seems that he is more eager to score which makes his production value rise! The veteran is up against a team that is struggling to contain opposing point guards, allowing an average of 26 real points a game on nearly 45.5% shooting from the field. I see Deron going for just 40 fantasy points (Memphis allows 42.0 fantasy points to point guards).
Derrick Rose (CHI@POR) $7,000
Coming back from tweaking his ankle and taking two games off, he is ready to put up another 20 real point game. Depending on how strong the ankle is feeling I see anywhere from 23 real points, which is what Portland has been giving up to opposing point guards this season, to 30+ real points. He has a matchup against another featured point guard which always boosts D-Rose. Hopefully he can come be aggressive the whole game without an injury! If so, he is set for a big night. When he has scored 20+ real points he has provided at least 40 fantasy points.
Shooting Guard
Gary Harris (LAC@DEN) $4,100
Quietly, he has played a solid chunk of minutes, with only one game under 25 minutes. In the past three games he has averaged 29 minutes, and he’s making use of the time on the court with an average of 17 real points and 2.7 rebounds. Not looking for much from Harris, but the fast-paced Clippers could give more opportunity so let’s shoot for 25 fantasy points.
Avery Bradley (BOS@ATL) $6,000
Since his return, he has scored in double-digits, averaging 30.24 fantasy points, and he steps into the starting role bumping up his playing time and value as Marcus Smart is set to miss some time. Last game, he played 40 minutes, scoring 27 real points and achieving 37.3 fantasy points to show he is worthy of a starting position.
Small Forward
Harrison Barnes (LAL@GS) $5,500
Barnes has not seen less than 31 minutes since November 9th, and he has scored an average of 16 real points reaching an average of 26 fantasy points. The Lakers give up 20 real points and 7 rebounds a game to opposing small forwards and I see Barnes achieving that earning roughly 30 fantasy points.
Paul George (IND@WAS) $9,500
PG13 played 29 minutes last game, the lowest this season, but he still put up almost 40 fantasy points. He is a man on a mission and the Wizards give him a great opportunity to showcase his talents. They are the worst team against opposing small forwards letting up an average of 23.6 real points on 47.5% shooting from the field. George often plays different positions giving him more value. A possible double-double this game for PG13.
Power Forward
Blake Griffin (LAC@DEN) $9,200
This is a “gimmie” game for Blake, meaning, give him the ball! The Nuggets allow 56% shooting from the field to opposing power forwards. Along with allowing 24 real points and 10 rebounds per game. He did not produce well at all last game, however, the last time he did not score more than 30 fantasy points he came back to score 61.1 fantasy points. Shall we see another come back performance? I think so!
Julius Randle (LAL@GS) $5,800
Kobe is set out to beat the Warriors, as he said “he has seen crazier things” and he has the whole team bought in. As long as Randle receives a solid amount of minutes he can produce like he has the past two games, playing at least 30 minutes and putting up at least 30 fantasy points. I think his athleticism will help him keep up with the Warriors so he can produce a solid stat line. I see him scoring 30+ fantasy points for the third straight game.
Center
Mason Plumlee (CHI@POR) $6,000
Meyers Leonard‘s absence is providing Plumlee his chance to shine, and against the Bulls might be his big opportunity. The Bulls allow 48 fantasy points to opposing centers. He has pulled down a double-double in two straight games and all signs point to him coming down with his third straight. He has scored 17 and 18 real points in the past two games, so it looks as if he is becoming a part of the offense. Let’s look for around 35 fantasy points.
I also like Jae Crowder and Nikola Jokic as cheap(er) options.

Use my lineup if you would like, however, I do suggest using it as a thought process to help you narrow down a decision.
