Wednesday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Wednesday's 10-game slate:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Draymond Green (GS) | at MIA | 10 |
| DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) | vs. SA | 10 |
| Kevin Love (CLE) | vs. CHA | 9 |
| LaMarcus Aldridge (SA) | at SAC | 8 |
| Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) | vs. OKC | 8 |
Green should have his way against a Heat team missing PF Chris Bosh. He had just six points in his last games, but he contributed 14 rebounds and nine assists. Cousins racked up 37 points and 20 rebounds last Friday, also adding four blocks.
Love has scored at least 24 points in each of his past two games, totaling 18 rebounds and seven assists in that time.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bobby Portis (CHI) | vs. WAS | 7 |
| Gorgui Dieng (MIN) | at TOR | 7 |
| Marvin Williams (CHA) | at CLE | 7 |
| Julius Randle (LAL) | at MEM | 7 |
| Myles Turner (IND) | vs. NY | 7 |
Portis finished with 17 points his last time out, finishing three rebounds short of a triple-double. Dieng had 14 points and 10 rebounds in his recent game against the Raptors. He's worth a look again while on the road.
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Zach Randolph (MEM) | vs. LAL | 6 |
| Tristan Thompson (CLE) | vs. CHA | 6 |
| Boris Diaw (SA) | at SAC | 6 |
| Nerlens Noel (PHI) | at DET | 5 |
| Josh McRoberts (MIA) | vs. GS | 5 |
| David West (SA) | at SAC | 5 |
| David Lee (DAL) | vs. OKC | 4 |
| JaMychal Green (MEM) | vs. LAL | 4 |
| Serge Ibaka (OKC) | at DAL | 4 |
| Luis Scola (TOR) | vs. MIN | 4 |
Randolph totaled 35 points in his past two games, but his rebounding numbers are down of late. Green hasn't been able to capitalize on an expanded role, but his price makes it difficult to fade him.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Kenneth Faried (DEN) | at LAC | 3 |
| Jordan Hill (IND) | vs. NY | 3 |
| Taj Gibson (CHI) | vs. WAS | 3 |
| Kristaps Porzingis (NY) | at IND | 3 |
| Markieff Morris (WAS) | at CHI | 2 |
Morris was showing some promise in his last few games with the Phoenix Suns, but he's totaled just 11 points and six rebounds in two games with the Wizards, coming into Tuesday. He's totaled 43 minutes off the bench, making it difficult to trust him until his price plummets once again.
