High Value SG

Brad Beal-Washington Wizards (5,800): Beal takes on the Nets tonight in what should be a good matchup for him since Brooklyn has allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG. The season has been an up-and-down one for Beal who has looked good at times but has also battled injury for much of the year. He did play at least 30 minutes in each of the Wiz’s last four games and had at least 24 fantasy points in each of those contests.  He can be a multi-category contributor when his shot is falling, and in a favorable matchup tonight he’s a nice buy at under 6K. ∗∗∗

Wesley Matthews-Dallas Mavericks (5,100): Matthews and the Mavs will have to deal with James Harden on the defensive end, but they should be able to attack him on offense which could mean a big night for Matthews if he can get his shot dropping.  Me has scored at least 12 points in eight of Dallas’s last eight games as he has helped pick up the slack for him many injured teammates.  Matthews has at least 20 fantasy points in each of those eight contests with over 23 fantasy points in each of his last four.  Matthews is low-risk in that he can be counted on for 20 fantasy points but don’t expect too much from him since his main priority will definitely be shutting down Harden. ∗∗

Jamal Crawford-Los Angeles Clippers (4,900): Crawford had scored in double-digits in eight straight games including his 32-point outburst in a spot start, but he burned his owners last night badly with just four points in 18 minutes against the Lakers.  If he gets playing time, he’ll light up the other team in LA, but unless coach Doc Rivers rests his starters entirely he showed us last night that he’s risky when not in the starting lineup. If starting-∗∗∗∗ Not starting-∗∗

Jeremy Lin-Charlotte Hornets (4,200): Lin slid into the starting lineup last night for the injured Nicolas Batum and played 40 minutes against the Raptors.  Lin totaled 35.3 fantasy points on 21 points, seven assists, and four rebounds.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in five of his last seven games, and he’ll be back at Madison Square Garden tonight where “Linsanity” all got started.  If Batum is out again tonight, Lin is almost sure to go off, but I like him even coming off the bench against his former team in front of fans that enjoyed cheering for him so much just a few years ago. If starting-∗∗∗∗∗ Not starting-∗∗∗∗

Devin Harris-Dallas Mavericks (3,900): If you don’t trust Lin or need an even cheaper option, check out the Mavs’ backup combo-guard Devin Harris who has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last four games and has at least 25 fantasy points in three of his last five contests.  Harris is playing a more active role with the run of injuries in Dallas, and he should be involved again tonight as the Mavs need to knock off the Rockets to get some breathing room in their chase for the playoffs. ∗∗∗

Rodney Stuckey-Indiana Pacers (3,800): Stuckey has also stepped up lately for the bench for his team, the Pacers.  He comes into tonight’s game off of back-to-back games with 17 points posting 27.7 fantasy points and 21.3 fantasy points against the Sixers and Knicks.  Indy could use a boost from the bench in scoring, but Stuckey is still pretty high risk sine he has struggled for so much of the season before his recent outburst. ∗∗
