DFS: Sunday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Sunday, November 15 (rankings are for the main DFS slate beginning at 5 p.m. ET):
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) | vs. TOR | 8 |
| Serge Ibaka (OKC) | vs. BOS | 8 |
| Jared Sullinger (BOS) | at OKC | 7 |
Cousins and Ibaka are neck-and-neck for the top spot. Cousins has the higher ceiling with a price to match and faces the Raptors' frontcourt of Jonas Valanciunas and Luis Scola. Ibaka will have a combination of David Lee, Amir Johnson and Kelly Olynyk. Without a proven lock-down post-defender on either team, Cousins and Ibaka are both locks for effective games.
The Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Derrick Favors (UTA) | at ATL | 6 |
| Paul Millsap (ATL) | vs. UTA | 6 |
| Marvin Williams (CHA) | vs. POR | 5 |
Favors and Millsap, former teammates in Utah, will face each other in Atlanta. Much of their potential on Sunday lies in the health of Rudy Gobert. When Favors' frontcourt partner is healthy, Favors can focus more on offense without having to worry about anchoring the defense. Gobert's presence under the hoop is fantasy napalm to Millsap's ability to score down-low.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Julius Randle (LAL) | vs. DET | 4 |
| Mason Plumlee (POR) | at CHA | 4 |
| Luis Scola (TOR) | at SAC | 4 |
| Ersan Ilyasova (DET) | at LAL | 3 |
Randle has been given a fair amount of leash in what is essentially his rookie season but without a consistent scoring output, he will struggle to contribute against the Pistons; Andre Drummond and his incredible rebounding ability will keep Randle from even sniffing a double-double.
