High Value SG

Jordan Clarkson-Los Angeles Lakers (5,600): As the Lakers and Clippers meet tonight in the first of their back-to-back games at STAPLES Center, Clarkson will look to continue his strong run of play coming down the stretch.  He has at least 27 fantasy points in four of his last five games although his one outlier was a bad 9.5 fantasy points burn against the Wizards.  Clarkson has played at least 34 minutes in those four of his last five and will continue to get plenty of run with veteran Lou Williams shelved for the rest of the season.  Clarkson is a solid option tonight against the Clippers since he’ll get plenty of playing time regardless of the game situation. ∗∗∗

Gary Harris-Denver Nuggets (5,000): Harris had 30.9 fantasy points on Saturday against the Kings and continues to put up solid numbers for the Nuggets who have given him big minutes all season in their starting backcourt.  Harris has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last two games and should be able to keep thins rolling tonight against the Thunder. ∗∗

Jamal Crawford-Los Angeles Clippers (4,900): Crawford has scored in double-digits in eight straight games including his 32-point outburst in a spot start last Thursday in Oklahoma City.  He has at least 26 fantasy points in four of his last seven games, and he should be plenty active tonight in a great matchup against the Lakers who give up more fantasy points to opposing backcourts than any other team in the NBA. ∗∗∗∗

Courtney Lee-Charlotte Hornets (4,300): Lee has stepped up for the Hornets getting some extra minutes due to several key injuries to other Charlotte wing players.  Lee has played at least 35 minutes in four straight games and has at least 24 fantasy points in three of those contests.  In fact, he has at least 23 fantasy points in five of his last seven contests making him a very solid value at just over 4K. Nicolas Batum is questionable tonight, and Lee would pick up some offensive usage if “Boom-Boom” is rested to get him ready for the playoffs. ∗∗∗∗

Seth Curry-Sacramento Kings (4,000): Curry got off to a hot start in Denver and finished with 24.7 fantasy points even though he cooled down in the second half. He has at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games including 30.9 fantasy points last Friday against the Heat.  Curry is getting extended playing time coming down the stretch and should start tonight next to Rondo, Boogie, and Rudy Gay.  The Kings are expected to have their better unit on the floor tonight agains the Blazers, but I still think Curry has a place to produce.  When the Kings faced Portland last week, Curry posted 28.3 fantasy points with 21 points against the Blazers in 32 minutes. ∗∗∗

E’Twaun Moore-Chicago Bulls (3,900): Moore is probable for tonight against the Grizz and he would likely get the start if Derrick Rose is unable to go. The Grizzlies are holding their backcourt together with Scotch tape and 10-day contracts, so if Moore gets a start against them tonight he’ll have a high ceiling and plenty of upside. No Rose-∗∗∗∗ With Rose-∗
