High Value SG

Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (5,800): This is the Oladipo fantasy owners have been missing! In a start on Monday, Oladipo contributed 37.75 fantasy points while playing 35 minutes finishing with 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals.  He also had a big game on New Years Day against the Wizards when he had 3725 fantasy points on 20 points, five assists, four steals, and rebound.  The problem with Oladipo is clearly seen from the game in between those two contests though when he only managed nine fantasy points since he played just 14 minutes in coach Scott Skiles’ rotation.  Oladipo will be a great play tonight against the Pacers if he get minutes, but that’s a big risk unless he’s announced to be in the lineup due to injury or realignment.  If starting-∗∗∗∗∗. If unknown-∗∗

Rodney Hood-Utah Jazz (5,800): Hood has come up huge for the Jazz in their last two games with 32 points on Saturday and 23 points on Monday leading to three straight games with over 38 fantasy points.  Hood has picked up extra responsibility with Alec Burks sidelined, and he’s a good play tonight gains the Spurs as he tries to keep his shot hot. ∗∗∗

Evan Turner-Boston Celtics (5,600): With Avery Bradley out again tonight, look for Turner to get plenty of minutes against the Pistons.  Turner offers a wide variety of potential production and had a double-double in his start on Monday with 12 points and 11 reoubnds.  He has at least 27 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and since he’ll get plenty of time on the floor at SG tonight in place of Bradley, give him a look if you’re shopping under 6K. If he gets minutes, he’ll find a way to help your fantasy team.∗∗∗∗

Arron Afflalo-New York Knicks (4,900): Afflalo started the year in unceremonious fashion with 4.25 fantasy points against the Bulls on New Years Day.  Things have gotten much better for him in the two games since, as he ripped the Hawks for 48.5 fantasy points on Sunday and another 40.25 fantasy points last night. Afflalo has been a streaky producer in the past, so if you want to take a gamble he can keep things rolling tonight against Miami he’s a nice affordable option. He has at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last ten, but there are games where he produces very little making him a boom-or-bust play. ∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (4,300): Booker is getting plenty of playing time Phoenix aft Eric Bledsoe’s injury, and he should get lots of time on the floor tonight in a good matchup against the Hornets who allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing SG.  Booker is just 19 years old and will likely be inconsistent with his shot from long range, but he can definitely contribute in multiple ways when he’s on the floor, and I think he’s lined up for well over 30 minutes tonight making him a very nice cheap play. ∗∗∗∗
