Value Valley: The Suns won't have Cameron Johnson or Chris Paul in the lineup against Chicago. Cameron Payne (60% available) has struggled with his shot in recent games, but has sustained elite passing production (10 APG over the last three). Jae Crowder missed the team's recent game with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Friday. If Crowder can't go, Torrey Craig (99%) notably played 34 minutes and posted 21 points and 17 combined rebounds and dimes against Houston this past Wednesday.

The Double O: Onyeka Okongwu is available in over 96% of ESPN leagues, something that is surprising given the uncertainty of John Collins. Okongwu has scored at least 12 points in the three games Collins has missed recently, shooting 67% from the field and grabbing at least five boards in each of those contests. Those are numbers that deserve a bit more run (21 minutes per game) and in a pace up spot against the fastest team in the NBA, he's a viable big tonight and down the stretch.

The Double B: Bruce Brown (81% available) isn't a perfect player, but given his production at home and the Nets' remaining schedule, he's worth a look. In all three home games this month, he's given you at least 27 points + assists + plus + rebounds and more importantly, he's playing nearly 38 minutes a night. Brown draws the third least efficient defense in the NBA tonight and is worth a look in all
