High Value SG

Tyler Johnson-Miami Heat (5,100): Johnson has at least 23 fantasy points in each of his last four games since stepping into a larger role for Miami with the injury to Goran Dragic followed by Beno Udrih also going down injured. Johnson had 16 points, six rebounds, and four assists on Sunday in a start against the Thunder, and I expect him to get the nod again tonight against the Bucks. He should get plenty of minutes tonight, and I think Miami will play well as they return home after a long, six-game West Coast trip. ∗∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (4,800): The Suns are giving the 19-year old Devin Booker plenty of run with injuries to Eric Bledsoe and Ronnie Price opening up plenty of playing time next to Brandon Knight. Booker has produced mixed results with a few good games and some off nights as well. Overall, he’s been solid with at least nine points in each of his last ten games and at least 15 points in four of his last seven. He has produced just 13.75and 11 fantasy points in his last two games, but had been on a nice run of 25+ fantasy points in four of his previous five games. Getting back home should serve Booker well, and he gets enough time to be a consideration to bounce back tonight even though he isn’t quite a lock. ∗∗∗

Gary Harris-Denver Nuggets (4,400): Harris has 22 fantasy points or more in three of his last four games, and is coming off of 20 points, four boards, and two assists against the Pacers on Sunday. He has been logging big minutes for Denver all season, and he remains the starting SG in this his rookie year. He is risky since he has had some down nights, but as a cheap play he has plenty of upside against the Thunder tonight. ∗∗

Joe Young-Indiana Pacers (3,100): Another cheap rookie who deserves a look in the right situation is Joseph Young of the Pacers who stepped into a bigger role while George Hill was out and contributed 15 points and seven assists for 26.25 fantasy points in just 18 minutes. He could get enough playing time to be a factor tonight agains the Suns if Hill is still unavailable for Indiana. No Hill-∗∗ With Hill-∗.
