Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Saturday, November 14:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Greg Monroe (MIL) | vs. CLE | 10 |
| Draymond Green (GS) | vs. BKN | 9 |
| Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) | at HOU | 8 |
Monroe is the only safe bet for guaranteed minutes among the top-tier power forwards. He's been an efficient scorer and an elite rebounder of late, Green may play limited minutes in a projected blowout, but he'll meet value in a limited amount of time.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Kevin Love (CLE) | at MIL | 7 |
| LaMarcus Aldridge (SA) | vs. PHI | 7 |
| Kenneth Faried (DEN) | at PHX | 6 |
| Thaddeus Young (BKN) | at GS | 6 |
| J.J. Hickson (DEN) | at PHX | 6 |
Love and Aldridge have favorable matchups that should allow them to reach value, even with reduced minutes. Young will be on the wrong side of a blowout, but he'll still have opportunities to produce.
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Tristan Thompson (CLE) | at MIL | 5 |
| Terrence Jones (HOU) | vs. DAL | 5 |
| Dwight Powell (DAL) | at HOU | 5 |
| Clint Capela (HOU) | vs. DAL | 4 |
| Channing Frye (ORL) | at WAS | 4 |
Thompson has the highest upside of the group, although Jones could far exceed his value if he's given an adequately sized workload. Capela isn't a guarantee for much with Dwight Howard back in the Rockets' lineup.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Nerlens Noel (PHI) | at SA | 3 |
| Markieff Morris (PHX) | vs. DEN | 3 |
Noel returned to the lineup Friday, but he's unlikely to be given a large role in the second half of the back-to-back. Morris is questionable for Saturday, and even if he suits up for the game, he'll likely be taken out as soon as the Suns have built a comfortable lead.
