Saturday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScrore's power forward value rankings for Saturday, March 5:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Tristan Thompson (CLE) | vs. BOS | 8 |
| Bobby Portis (CHI) | vs. HOU | 8 |
Thompson is a cheap manufacturer of double-doubles. Expect one on Saturday against the weak frontcourt of the Celtics.
Portis' value sky-rockets if Taj Gibson (questionable) get's ruled out. Houston has no answer on defense.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Paul Millsap (ATL) | at LAC | 7 |
| Jordan Hill (IND) | at WAS | 7 |
| Anthony Davis (NO) | vs. UTA | 6 |
| Derrick Favors (UTA) | at NO | 6 |
| Derrick Williams (NY) | vs. DET | 6 |
| Gorgui Dieng (MIN) | vs. BKN | 5 |
| Ryan Anderson (NO) | vs. UTA | 5 |
| David West (SA) | vs. SAC | 5 |
Hill is very low-priced and pulled off a 19-point, seven-rebound performance on Wednesday. He won't need these kind of numbers to return value against the Wizards.
Davis has returned value just once since his 59-point, 20-rebound outing on February 11. The slow-paced offense of the Jazz and their strong frontcourt defense makes him a tournament option only.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Taj Gibson (CHI) | vs. HOU | 4 |
| Clint Capela (HOU) | at CHI | 4 |
| DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) | at SA | 3 |
| Markieff Morris (WAS) | vs. IND | 3 |
| Myles Turner (IND) | at WAS | 3 |
| Josh Smith (HOU) | at CHI | 3 |
| Channing Frye (CLE) | vs. BOS | 2 |
| Amir Johnson (BOS) | at CLE | 2 |
Cousins' price tag is so astronomically high that it takes a dazzling performance every night to return value. Don't count on Boogie coming up with a huge game against the league's top defense.
