Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports
Here are theScore's power forward rankings for Thursday, November 5:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marvin Williams (CHA) | at DAL | Low |
| 2 | Serge Ibaka (OKC) | vs. CHI | Low |
| 3 | Nikola Mirotic (CHI) | vs. OKC | Low |
Williams and Mirotic both have favorable matchups. Ibaka is at full health and back to being known as one of the elite PFs in the game, his ability to record double-doubles at will must be taken into account.
| # | Name | Opponent | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Derrick Favors (UTA) | at DEN | Medium |
| 5 | Kenneth Faried (DEN) | vs. UTA | Medium |
| 6 | Chris Bosh (MIA) | at MIN | Medium |
| 7 | Zach Randolph (MEM) | at POR | Medium |
| 8 | Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) | vs. CHA | Medium |
| 9 | Pau Gasol (CHI) | vs. OKC | High |
| 10 | Dwight Powell (DAL) | vs. OKC | High |
The medium-risk players are fairly priced, but the return in value could be limited due to a lack of field-goal opportunities. Gasol has switched to a full-time center with the Bulls and has seen a drop in minutes at PF with Mirotic's emergence, leaving him sharing court time with C Joakim Noah. Powell comes off the bench for the Mavericks, and is a high-risk, high-reward play.
