Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Butler (CHI) | vs. MIL | 10 |
| Klay Thompson (GS) | vs. ORL | 9 |
| Nicolas Batum (CHA) | vs. MIN | 8 |
| Zach LaVine (MIN) | at CHA | 8 |
Butler returned to the Bulls' lineup with a vengeance, recording 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in just 34 minutes. In two games against the Bucks this season, Butler has averaged 31 points, eight assists and five rebounds.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Khris Middleton (MIL) | at CHI | 7 |
| Victor Oladipo (ORL) | at GS | 7 |
| Andrew Wiggins (MIN) | at CHA | 6 |
| Wesley Matthews (DAL) | vs. LAC | 6 |
| J.R. Smith (CLE) | vs. MEM | 5 |
| Manu Ginobili (SA) | at IND | 5 |
| J.J. Redick (LAC) | at DAL | 5 |
| Jamal Crawford (LAC) | at DAL | 4 |
| Marco Belinelli (SAC) | at NO | 4 |
Middleton has averaged 26.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in his last five games. He has shot 14-for-24 from 3-point territory in that period, good for 58.3 percent.
Middleton's hot hand from the arc is due to regress, especially with strong perimeter defender Butler back and healthy. He should still have a solid night as the focal point of the Bucks' attack, but don't expect huge numbers.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Monta Ellis (IND) | vs. SA | 3 |
| Vince Carter (MEM) | at CLE | 2 |
Ellis was completely shut down by the Spurs' league-leading defense in their first meeting.
