Derrick Favors vs TOR ($8,300) - The Raptors are giving up over 40 fantasy points a game this season to power forwards, and I see them having a hard time with Favors tonight.
Mid Cap Players ($5,000 - $8,000)

Brandon Knight vs CHI ($7,600) - After the game he played Monday you probably should throw him in one lineup.
Eric Gordon vs OKC ($6,000) - Good chance Anthony Davis doesn’t play tonight, so the Pelicans will need someone to score. It also helps OKC gives up 37 fantasy points a game to shooting guards.
Thaddeus Young vs. CHA ($5,800) - Young has been playing well, posting back to back 47 and 37 fantasy point performances. And over their last five games the Hornets have allowed power forwards to score 46 fantasy points a game.
Al-Farouq Aminu vs HOU ($5,600) - The Rockets have allowed the most fantasy points to small forwards over the last five games. Plus, Aminu has looked a lot better this season.
Ishmael Smith vs OKC ($5,400) - Jrue Holiday isn’t playing tonight, so Smith should see plenty of minutes to hit value.
T.J. McConnell vs IND ($5,100) - This is still a reasonable price for McConnell, who has been hitting value most nights. Plus, the Pacers will be thin at point guard if George Hill doesn’t play.
Small Cap Player ($5,000 and under)

Aaron Gordon vs MIN ($4,100) - Gordon is coming off back to back 29+ fantasy point games, so he might be worth the risk tonight.
