High Value SG

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope-Detroit Pistons (5,400): KCP was definitely hitting his shots in Game One as were most of the Pistons perimeter threats.  He scored 21 points in his 38 minutes for 27.9 fantasy points.  He didn’t have great non-scoring numbers with just two boards and three assists, but he will be on the floor and very involved once again tonight as the Pistons try to steal a game in Cleveland. ∗∗∗

J.R. Smith-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,600): Smith had a solid Game One against KCP and company scoring just nine points but adding three boards, three assists, and two steals in his 35 minutes for 21.1 fantasy points. Smith can definitely pile up points if he gets his shot going and can be counted on for over 30 minutes per night in the current Cavaliers rotation. Smith is a very nice play at under 5K with a high ceiling tonight.∗∗∗∗

Josh Richardson-Miami Heat (4,300): Miami’s backcourt depth is basically just Richardson which is why he logged 35 minutes against the Hornets in Game One.  If tonight’s game is closer, he could play fewer minutes, but he’s obviously a big part of the rotation and will get his chances to produce.  Richardson totaled 19.5 fantasy points in Game One, and he could do even better in Game Two depending on how involved he needs to be offensively. ∗∗

Courtney Lee-Charlotte Hornets (3,900): Lee is the best SG option if you have to go under 4K as he continues to start for the Hornets after coming over in a midseason trade with the Grizzlies.  Lee had 14.9 fantasy points in 33 minutes in Game One and doesn’t have a super-high ceiling. However, he can definitely be counted on to be on the floor for much of tonight’s game and contribute in multiple categories returning you a decent number of fantasy points for minimal investment. ∗∗∗
