There are only four games Sunday, one early in the afternoon and the other three later in the evening. Thus, the all-Day contests have all four games but many of the tournaments only include three. The early game between the Timberwolves and Suns should be fast-paced with the potential for a lot of production.
Point Guards
Ricky Rubio, MIN at PHO ($7,100): Rubio has been playing good ball since returning from injury, averaging 10.8 points, 10.3 assists, 6.3 boards and 1.3 steals per game over his last four. On Sunday, he matches up with a Suns defense that allows the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards.
Trey Burke, UTA at OKC ($4,900): Over his last five games, Burke is averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game off the bench. While he's not a starter, he's been getting near starter minutes and since he comes in with the second unit, he's able to get an offensive jump-start before having to play with/against the first unit.
Shooting Guard
Kevin Martin, MIN at PHO ($4,400): Martin was reinserted into the Timberwolves starting lineup midway through last week, and he has responded by averaging 29.5 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds per game in his last two. While the scoring is over-the-top, if he continues to play near 40 minutes per game, as he has been, he should outproduce his price tag.
Small Forward
Gordon Hayward, UTA at OKC ($7,100): Hayward has been verging on fantasy elite for weeks now, averaging 21.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.0 steals per game over the last 10 days to solidly outproduce his price tag.
Power Forwards
Jon Leuer, PHO vs. MIN ($4,600): Leuer has been a consistent source of value since he moved into the starting lineup. Tyson Chandler is expected to return from his hamstring injury on Sunday, which could eat into Leuer's minutes a bit, but he's primarily been playing power forward, so if he continues to start with Markieff Morris getting little/no playing time, then Leuer should remain in that 25 fantasy points per game range that he's been in for the last couple of weeks.
Luis Scola, TOR vs. PHI ($4,300): Scola is a bit of a risk because from Nov. 28 through Dec. 7 Scola failed to score at least 20 fantasy points in any of his six games. However, he has played a larger role of late with consecutive games over 30 minutes and has responded by averaging almost 26 fantasy points per game in those two. On Sunday, he faces a 76ers defense that is last in the NBA at defending power forwards.
Center
Jahlil Okafor, PHI at TOR ($6,300): The Raptors actually have a solid interior defense, but Okafor is the least expensive of the potential impact players at center. In his two healthy games since returning from a two-game suspension and a respiratory illness, Okafor has averaged 22 points, eight boards and 1.5 blocks in about 31 minutes per game.
