High Value SG

Lou Williams-Los Angeles Lakers (5,700): Williams has been a solid contributor for the Lakers since taking over the starting job and has recovered from a shooting slump he was stuck in around Christmas Day.  He has at least 28 fantasy points in four straight games and had an impressive 50.75 fantasy points on Sunday against the Suns scoring 30 points to go with seven board, four assists, and two steals.  He’ll face much tougher competition tonight against the Warriors, but he should be able to get around 30 fantasy points once again making him the best play of the day under 6K at SG. ∗∗∗∗

Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (5,000): Matthews will be in a good matchup against the Kings tonight who allow the sixth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG so far this season but have allowed more over their last five games to opposing SG than any other team in the NBA.  Matthews has been heating up too with double-digit scoring in seven straight contests including four games with at least 15 points during that timespan.  Oddly, his non-scoring numbers haven’t been strong lately, but he’s been scoring enough to be worth a look at 5K tonight. ∗∗∗

Marco Belinelli-Sacramento Kings (3,900): Belinelli scored 21 points last night giving him three straight games with at least 19 points and 24 fantasy points. He had been stuck in a shooting slump before his breakout, but he’s streaky enough to give him a shot tonight against the Mavs especially if Omri Casspi is sidelined again tonight. With Casspi-∗∗, Without Casspi-∗∗∗
