High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,900): KCP has at least 16 points in each of his last four games and has reached double-digit scoring in eight of his last ten. His non-scoring numbers are a little inconsistent at times but he usually logs heavy minutes which should serve him well tonight as the Pistons play the Nets. No team in the NBA allows more fantasy points to opposing SG than Brooklyn, so Caldwell-Pope is a good pick to approach or match his production against them from earlier this season when he had 21 points and seven rebounds. ∗∗∗∗

Joe Johnson-Brooklyn Nets (4,900): One of the Nets on the other side of that same matchup tonight will be Joe Johnson who has been helping to shoulder the load on offense now that Jarrett Jack has been lost for the season. Johnson had a pair of really good games against Boston a week ago, and he also had 21.1 fantasy points last night against the Magic while playing a massive 39 minutes. He has managed to produce at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last ten games, and he is getting a ton of playing time in Brooklyn’s current rotation. ∗

Marco Belinelli-Sacramento Kings (4,300): It’s hard to say exactly what the Kings’ rotation will look like tonight with so many injuries and a game that could be a blowout early as they take on the Warriors. One thing that is certain is that Belinelli has been playing well lately with double-digit scoring in five straight games and at least 20 fantasy points in each of those contests. In those five contests, he has averaged 18.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 steals. His production will be there if he gets playing time tonight, but the risk factor of Omri Casspi returning and taking his playing time makes him a risky play unless we get work early on Omri. If Casspi is out-∗∗∗. If Casspi in or unknown at 7:00-∗∗
