High Value SG

Bradley Beal-Washington Wizards (5,700):  Coming out of the All Star break, Beal played under 30 minutes in each of Washington’s first four games and was held under 30 fantasy points as a result.  He finally got the run his fantasy owners were hoping for against Chicago on Wednesday playing 34 minutes but he ended up going 0-6 from three-point territory and still only finishing with 23.4 fantasy points. He’ll be in a good place to succeed against the 76ers tonight if he gets that much playing time, but he remains high risk since its unclear how much time he’ll be able to be on the floor of if his shot will start dropping when he does play.  There is a ton of fantasy potential in the matchup tonight, but Beal remains high-risk. ∗∗

Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,500): Fournier continues to be a great play as he steps into a larger role with Orlando since the injury and eventual trade of Tobias Harris.  Fournier has been a five-star play for the last week and has delivered over 27 fantasy points in each of his last eight games.  Matching up with ‘Melo could be awkward for Fournier at the SF spot tonight, but he’s been playing such a heavy workload and has been so productive that I still like him a lot. ∗∗∗∗∗

J.J. Redick-Los Angeles Clippers (4,900): The stars align for Redick to have a huge game tonight as he takes on the Kings who have allowed the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG. Redick averaged 20 points against them in his three matchups against them earlier this season, and he has been shooting the lights out this month as he helps the Clippers find scoring in Blake Griffin’s continued absence. Redick has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last two games and at least 24 in six of his last ten. He’s a nice play tonight in a great matchup in what I think will be one of the highest scoring games of the night. ∗∗∗∗∗

E’Twaun Moore-Chicago Bulls (4,600):  Moore has been a huge help to the Bulls who have been dealing with a myriad of injuries over the last few weeks.  Moore picked up playing time when Nikola Mirotic went down and has only seen his role increase when Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose have also been sidelined since then. It’s not clear if Rose will play tonight or not, but either way I think Moore is a solid option.  When Rose was out on Wednesday, Moore played the point and finished with 17 points on his way to 24.1 fantasy points. It was his third straight game with over 24 fantasy points and he has at least 22 fantasy points in seven of his last nine contests.  He isn’t as cheap as he was when he started this run, but he’s still likely to get a good chunk of playing time against the Hawks tonight since he’s still filling in for so many fallen Bulls. ∗∗∗∗

Langston Galloway-New York Knicks (4,200):  Galloway really needs to be the Knicks starting PG instead of Jose Calderon.  Galloway is a high-risk fantasy play since he’s still coming off the bench for the time being, though, and he did have a horrible 2.7 fantasy points against the Raptors just two games ago.  He bounced back nicely with 17 points and 27.2 fantasy points against the Pacers on Wednesday which hopefully will be enough to vault him over the still-struggling Jose Calderon. Galloway has a ton of upside, but unless coach Kurt Rambis gets off of Twitter and lets us know that he’s starting he’s too unreliable to bank on tonight against the Magic. If coming off the bench-∗∗ If starting-∗∗∗∗
