Saturday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Saturday, April 16:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Draymond Green (GS) | vs. HOU | 8 |
| Paul Millsap (ATL) | vs. BOS | 8 |
| Serge Ibaka (OKC) | vs. DAL | 7 |
Green and Millsap should be rostered by the majority of DFS players. They are the most reliable options and also possesses tournament upside. Green gets a slight edge due to his triple-double potential. He averaged nine points, nine rebounds, and 9.3 assists in three games against the Rockets this season. Millsap did, however, rack up five double-doubles in six of his last regular season games.
Ibaka is a decent cash game option thanks to his rebounding ability and mid-tier price. He averaged 15.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in four contests against Dallas this year.
Mid-Tier Targets
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) | at OKC | 6 |
| Myles Turner (IND) | at TOR | 5 |
| Amir Johnson (BOS) | at ATL | 5 |
Turner and Johnson are unlikely to play over 25 minutes considering their season averages both sit at the 22 minute mark. Turner has shown flashes of upside throughout the season, but his inexperience may lead to more watching than playing.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Patrick Patterson (TOR) | vs. IND | 4 |
| Clint Capela (HOU) | at GS | 4 |
| Luis Scola (TOR) | vs. IND | 4 |
The Raptors' twosome of Patterson and Scola may be tempting in tournament play, but how much playing time either receives is unclear. The return of DeMarre Carroll should also into their offensive opportunity.
