DFS: Thursday's Small Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's small forward value rankings for Thursday, November 5:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | vs. MIA | Low |
| 2 | Kevin Durant (OKC) | at CHI | Low |
| 3 | Al-Farouq Aminu (POR) | vs. MEM | Low |
Maple Jordan stands alone atop of the ranking, hosting the Heat at a cheap price with high upside to return value. Durant can't be ignored - he is playing his fourth game in five nights, something that should be taken into account before firing him into lineups.
Aminu has been a pleasant surprise to start the season, and could quietly fill the scoresheet while the Grizzlies' defense deals with the lofty task of shutting down PG Damian Lillard and SG C.J. McCollum.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Danilo Gallinari (DEN) | vs. UTA | Medium |
| 5 | Luol Deng (MIA) | at MIN | Medium |
| 6 | Rodney Hood (UTA) | at DEN | Medium |
| 7 | Gordon Hayward (UTA) | at DEN | Medium |
| 8 | Tony Allen (MEM) | at POR | Medium |
| 9 | Nicolas Batum (CHA) | at DAL | High |
| 10 | Chandler Parsons (DAL) | vs. CHA | High |
Gallinari should continue to prove doubters wrong against the Jazz at a reasonable price. Ranked at medium risk are some cheap SFs that have a low-ownership percentage, providing you with viable ROI. The Batum/Parsons matchup in Charlotte is one to fade due to better quality of DFS plays.
