Thursday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Thursday, February 25:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Jabari Parker (MIL) | at BOS | 9 |
| Anthony Davis (NO) | vs. OKC | 8 |
Parker has been playing heavy minutes lately and his production (and salary) have risen accordingly. Luckily, his salary is still middle-of-the-pack, so hop on him before it truly starts to diminish his value. Parker has two 20-plus point, and 10-plus rebound games in his last four.
Davis has 20 rebounds in each of his past two games and combined one of those with 59 points back on Sunday. His salary is hefty, though.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Derrick Favors (UTA) | vs. SA | 7 |
| LaMarcus Aldridge (SA) | at UTA | 6 |
| Aaron Gordon (ORL) | vs. GS | 6 |
| Draymond Green (GS) | at ORL | 6 |
| Ersan Ilyasova (ORL) | vs. GS | 6 |
Favors is a strong double-double candidate despite a matchup against the Spurs.
Gordon has double-doubles in four of his past six, but with Parker available at a similar price, you may as well roll with the Buck.
Green could have a tough time hitting the upside you want from a salary like his with a matchup against the young and athletic Gordon.
| Name | Opposition | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Thaddeus Young (BKN) | at PHX | 5 |
| Ryan Anderson (NO) | vs. OKC | 5 |
| Serge Ibaka (OKC) | vs. NO | 5 |
| Jon Leuer (PHX) | vs. BKN | 5 |
Young has a great matchup, but he hasn't scored 15 or more points since February 8th. His cash game appeal has dwindled because of that and he should probably be used exclusively in tournaments with his plus matchup.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ed Davis (POR) | vs. HOU | 4 |
| Kris Humphries (PHX) | vs. BKN | 4 |
| David West (SA) | at UTA | 4 |
| Clint Capela (HOU) | at POR | 3 |
