High Value SG

Evan Fournier-Orlando Magic (5,900): Fournier has at least 15 points in each of his last four games and had three straight games with 30 fantasy points before a down game with the rest of his Magic teammates on Saturday.  He should bounce back nicely tonight, though, against the Nuggets who don’t have Danilo Gallinari and are patching together their SF spot which is where Fournier really is playing these days for Orlando. Fournier’s wrist injury seems to be behind him, so he’s a good play once again as long as his price is under 6K. 

Evan Turner-Boston Celtics (5,400): Whether he starts or continues to come off the bench, look for Evan Turner to pick up most of the minutes left available by Jae Crowder’s ankle sprain.  Turner has been coming up huge for Boston when he gets the chance and contributes across the board in a variety of ways.  He had 36.25 fantasy points on Friday in his 30 minutes even though he only scored five points by adding seven rebounds, nine assists, and five steals.  He has at least 34 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he’ll be in for even bigger numbers if he’s more involved offensively and picks up Crowder’s minutes.  Tonight’s matchup isn’t one I love for him, but I still think he’s a bargain at under 6K. 

Gary Harris-Denver Nuggets (5,100): Harris has at least 27 fantasy points in five of his last six games and is playing well along side young backcourt mate Emmanuel Mudiay.  Harris had 18 points, three steals, and three rebounds last night to get to 31.25 fantasy points which is a very nice return at this price.  Tonight, he’ll try and duplicate that effort in the teams second Florida stop where they’ll face the Magic. 

Avery Bradley-Boston Celtics (5,000): Bradley has been solid but not spectacular lately with at least 23 fantasy points in five of his last six games and eight of his last ten. He will need to pick up some of the scoring slack for Jae Crowder tonight in Indiana, and  averaged 16 points, four rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals in his two previous matchups with the Pacers. Bradley is a relatively safe play even though he doesn’t have a super-high ceiling since Isaiah Thomas is the main focus of the Boston backcourt offense. 

Bojan Bogdanovic-Brooklyn Nets (4,600): Bogdanovic sat out the last game the Nets faced the 76ers, but he has been a big part of the Brooklyn attack in the rest of his last eight games.  He has at least 20 fantasy points in six of those eight contests including a solid 27.75 fantasy points from Sunday when he returned with 13 points, seven assists, and five rebounds against the Bucks.  He’s a nice value at just over 4.5K, and as long as he doesn’t need more rest will be a good play against Phily.

Nik Stauskas-Philadelphia 76ers (3,300): The 76ers are dealing with a ton of injuries right now which forced Stauskas back into the starting lineup on Saturday against the Pistons.  He played 26 minutes and had 26 fantasy points on 15 points, four assists, and two rebounds. Stauskas had ten points and 13.75 fantasy points in his 21 minutes against Brooklyn last Friday, and he’ll probably get more playing time than that once again tonight.  If he’s starting, he’ll be a solid cheap flier.
