High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,000): Caldwell-Pope has found a bit of a groove lately and has at least 20 fantasy points in four straight games and six of his last seven. He scored 24 points last night to get over 25 fantasy points for the third straight game and is logging a ton of minutes in coach Stan Van Gundy’s backcourt. KCP has a good matchup against the 76ers tonight and should be a good solid play at his 5K price.∗∗∗

Hollis Thompson-Philadelphia 76ers (4,000): Thompson had already been in my DraftKings daily picks as one of the better cheap plays in the NBA at SG right now, but with a scary injury to Robert Covington Thompson is now the last of the 76ers’ wing options that is healthy and ready to go tonight against the Pistons. Thompson has played over 30 minutes in each of his last four games and has at least 21 fantasy points in three of his last four and five of his last seven full games. He missed a couple games with illness at the end of February, but he should be good to go tonight for all the minutes he can handle for a suddenly injury-depleted Philadelphia team. ∗∗∗∗∗

Courtney Lee-Charlotte Hornets (3,700): One of the players who Memphis shipped off at the deadline before all their injuries was Courtney Lee who has fit in well with Charlotte. Lee has posted back-to-back games with exactly 27.5 fantasy points in his last two contests and is in a good matchup against the “defense” of the Rockets tonight in Charlotte. Lee probably won’t go off like Stephenson could, but he produces solid numbers across the stat sheet and logs plenty of minutes for the Hornets. ∗∗
