High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,800):  KCP has at least 20 points in four of his last seven games and has been able to reach 25 fantasy points in seven of his last nine.  His bad games are pretty dreadful, but he has been on his game more often than not lately, and he’s in a good matchup tonight at home against the Rockets who allow the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG. ∗∗∗

Rodney Hood-Utah Jazz (5,800): Hood has scored in double digits in nine of his last ten games and each of his last five since returning from a brief absence due to an ankle injury.  He has at least 24 fantasy points in four of those five games and usually gets enough court time to return solid value while the Jazz are without Alec Burks to help fill in their wing rotation. ∗∗∗

Avery Bradley-Boston Celtics (5,700): Another player who never struggled to get minutes is Boston’s Avery Bradley who has played at least 35 minutes in each of his six games back from his latest injury.  He played 43 minutes against Dallas in his most recent game on Monday finishing with 40.5 fantasy points on 19 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.  He has at least 21 fantasy points in each of his last four games, and he managed a solid 13 points, five boards, three assists, and a block despite a bad shooting night the first time the C’s met the Raptors earlier this season.  ∗∗∗∗

Tyler Johnson-Miami Heat (5,400): Johnson was one of the most owned players in DFS fantasy basketball last night, but early foul trouble and poor shooting doomed him to just 12 fantasy points. He had ripped off four straight games with at least 23 fantasy points before last night’s letdown and if Beno Udrih and Goran Dragic are both sidelined again tonight he’ll get another start.  If he gets the minutes, I think he’ll bounce back strong against the Wizards, so he’s still one of the better cheap options on the board.  No Dragic or Udrih (as expected)-∗∗∗ 

Allen Crabbe-Portland Trail Blazers (4,200): After a nice run in the Blazers starting lineup while Damian Lillard was sidelined, Crabbe is back to coming off the bench for Portland but he still retains some fantasy value at this price.  He has scored at least 25 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is coming off a solid game against the Wizards when he scored 14 points and added four rebounds, there assists, and two steals.  Crabbe is risky coming off the bench against the Hawks tonight, but he almost always is good for some numbers especially at home. ∗∗∗

Langston Galloway-New York Knicks (3,800): I’m not saying you should, but if you did need to come down to the cheap seats at the bottom of the salary structure,  Langston Galloway would be the top name I’d target.  Galloway played well in a spot start on Saturday against Memphis finishing with a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds on his way to 33.75 fantasy points. He probably won’t see that kind of time against the Jazz tonight, but he has at least 15 fantasy points in three straight games which is enough to make him the cheap option I like the most at SG. ∗
