DFS: Friday's Power Forward Value Rankings
Here are theScore's power forward value rankings for Friday, December 4:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
Name | Opponent | Value |
---|---|---|
Paul Millsap (ATL) | vs. LAL | 10 |
Kevin Love (CLE) | at NO | 9 |
Anthony Davis (NO) | vs. CLE | 8 |
Kristaps Porzingis (NY) | at BKN | 8 |
Millsap flirted with a double-double during Atlanta's Wednesday loss to the Raptors, tallying 14 points and nine rebounds; he is a guarantee to return value versus the Lakers.
Love is significantly cheaper than Davis, and is a better perimeter shooter, thus increasing his value. Davis could be a viable GPP play, as some DFSers will fade him due to the return of SG Tyreke Evans.

Best of the Rest
Name | Opponent | Value |
---|---|---|
Ryan Anderson (NO) | vs. CLE | 7 |
Julius Randle (LAL) | at ATL | 7 |
Nene Hilario (WAS) | vs. PHX | 6 |
Thaddeus Young (BKN) | at NY | 6 |
Markieff Morris (PHX) | at WAS | 5 |
Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) | vs. HOU | 5 |
With Evans' return to the starting lineup, the Pelicans have added depth, which takes scoring opportunities away from Anderson. Randle's the only positive thing happening for the Lakers this year and should continue his early season success in Atlanta.
Hilario is worth a flier against the Suns' lackluster defense (.470 FG% against) while the Nets must utilize their front court against the Knicks' stout perimeter defense, immediately increasing Young's ceiling and value.

Nothing to See Here
Name | Opponent | Value |
---|---|---|
Tristan Thompson (CLE) | at NO | 4 |
Jabari Parker (MIL) | at DET | 3 |
Ersan Ilyasova (DET) | vs. MIL | 3 |
Kris Humphries (WAS) | vs. OHX | 2 |
Terrence Jones (HOU) | at DAL | 2 |
John Henson (MIL) | at DET | 1 |
The Cavaliers possess a pile of weapons in their front court, and Thompson's value is limited in cash games; he could return value in GPPs, as he has recorded double-digit rebounds his past seven games.
The rest of the aforementioned players have little to no value on their respective teams and aren't worth a roster spot.
